How much STRESS does a stress-test test?
Good: Fed says tested banks passed with flying colors. Carfang Group tested for 25% losses on CRE loans and 4% losses on HTM bonds. None of these banks would see a 60% loss of capital in that scenario.
Bad: 1,477 banks out of the remaining 4,650 would see capital take a serious plunge in same scenario.
