“In fixed income, we see spread products continuing to have pressure,” Gerspach said. “That’s been a story for the last 18 months.”

  • *CITICORP EXPECTS $400 MLN REPOSITIONING RESERVE, GERSPACH SAYS
  • *CITIGROUP SAYS OTHER THAN ENERGY SECTOR, CREDIT PERFORMING WELL
  • *CITIGROUP CFO SAYS STILL ‘HOPE’ FED WILL RAISE RATES 2X IN 2016
  • *CITIGROUP CFO SAYS MORE LIKELY ONE RATE INCREASE IN 2016 BY FED
  • *CITIGROUP CFO: WOULD BE SURPRISED IF U.S. RATES GO NEGATIVE
  • *CITIGROUP CFO: QUESTIONS WHETHER NEGATIVE RATES ARE EFFECTIVE
  • *CITIGROUP CFO SAYS BANK FEELS VERY GOOD ABOUT CHINA EXPOSURE
  • *GERSPACH SEES FURTHER BRANCH CLOSURES IN U.S., INTERNATIONALLY

So did the Japanese banks.
