The report highlights strong 1Q earnings for Euronext and positive regulatory developments for UBS, while cautioning about intense deposit competition in Germany led by Chase.

Key Takeaways

  • 1.Euronext reported a strong 6% EBITDA beat for 1Q26, driven by higher cash equity trading and clearing revenues, as well as capital markets strength.
  • 2.Swiss parliamentary debates regarding capital requirements for UBS suggest a potential lowering of CET1 backing at foreign subsidiaries from 100% to 75-80%, which would significantly reduce capital shortfalls.
  • 3.Chase has launched an aggressive 4% deposit campaign in Germany, which is expected to pressure margins and client stickiness for incumbents like ING.
