Stress Test diumumkan menjelang Market Tutup: Bank Shares Advance After Federal Reserve Completes Stress Test 
By Jeff Kearns and Jamie McGee May 7 (Bloomberg) -- Citigroup Inc. and Bank of America Corp. led financial stocks higher after the Federal Reserve concluded its examination of the industry’s health. While the central bank found that 10 U.S. lenders need $74.6 billion in new capital to survive the longest recession since World War II, Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said the results of the so-called bank stress test “should provide considerable comfort to investors and the public.” Citigroup climbed 7.1 percent to $4.08 at 6:40 p.m. in New York after the Fed said it needs $5.5 billion in additional capital. Bank of America, determined to require $33.9 billion, gained 9.3 percent to $14.76 in trading following the official close of U.S. exchanges. Fifth Third Bancorp, Ohio’s largest lender, soared 25 percent to $6.66 as the central bank said it must raise $1.1 billion. “The market is breathing a sigh of relief,” said Philip Orlando, who helps manage $410 billion as chief equity strategist at Federated Investors Inc. in New York. “The elimination of that uncertainty is being viewed as a positive by investors.” U.S. stock-index futures gained, with Standard & Poor’s 500 Index contracts expiring in June adding 0.6 percent to 912.20. The Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund, an exchange-traded fund that tracks bank stocks, increased 2.1 percent to $12.38. The S&P 500 declined 1.3 percent to close at 907.39 today before the results were released. The benchmark has advanced 0.5 percent this year after dipping as much as 25 percent in March. ‘Positive Experience’ “This has been a positive experience,” said Walter “Bucky” Hellwig, who helps oversee $30 billion at Morgan Asset Management in Birmingham, Alabama. “The uncertainty that occurred because of the economic downturn and what might have been a fumbling of the regulatory ball early on has pretty much been resolved.” The Fed’s report on the health of the nation’s 19 largest lenders showed that losses at the banks under “more adverse” economic conditions than most economists anticipate could total $599.2 billion over two years. Morgan Stanley retreated 1.4 percent to $26.75 after regulators said it needs $1.8 billion. The sixth-biggest U.S. bank by assets said it plans to raise $2 billion in a share sale and $3 billion by selling debt that’s not government-guaranteed after regulators determined the company needs more capital.
