<\/a> Global M&A hit USD 2 tn YTD in 2018, a new record <\/strong>according to data from Thomson Reuters<\/a>. About USD 28 bn in US transactions were announced on Monday, with strong activity in power, financials, and real estate. The most notable among them was the USD 11.1 bn merger of GE\u2019s transportation unit and rail equipment maker Wabtec.<\/p>\n

The data comes with an ominous warning:<\/strong> Reuters notes that the last times global M&A hit this level was a year before the global financial crisis and right before the bursting of the dot com bubble.<\/p>\n

This week alone saw MENA banking M&A hit USD 8 bn<\/strong>, according to Bloomberg<\/a>. Leading the pack was Saudi British Bank\u2019s USD 5 bn all-stock acquisition of Alawwal Bank. This was followed by Emirates NBD announcing that it has agreed<\/a> to acquire Turkey\u2019s Denizbank from Russia\u2019s state-owned Sberbank for USD 3.2 bn. The acquisition of Turkey\u2019s fifth largest bank is the biggest ever undertaken by Emirates NBD, and will add USD 37 bn of assets to its books.<\/p>\n

From the dept of D\u2019uh:<\/strong> The Institute for International Finance (IIF) is concerned about the vulnerability to rising interest rates of emerging market asset classes in its latest report (pdf)<\/a>. Contagion risk from the sharp depreciation in the Turkish lira and the Argentine peso this year are dampened, however, by the fact that portfolio inflows to EMs since 2016 were largely concentrated in a select few emerging markets, including Egypt, Colombia, South Africa and Argentina. Nonetheless, it warns that the extent of the impact of the Fed hikes on the lira and peso could be a sign for things to come.<\/p>\n

The New York Stock Exchange has a female boss for the first time in its 226-year history. <\/strong>Stacey Cunningham (LinkedIn<\/a>), the exchange\u2019s COO, takes over as Thomas Farley steps down after a four-year run to launch an outfit that will invest in fintech, Axios reports<\/a>. Cunningham started her career as an intern at NYSE back in 1994, worked at both Nasdaq and Bank of America, and went to culinary school<\/a> during a hiatus from the trading floor. See wall-to-wall coverage from Reuters<\/a>, the Financial Times<\/a> and the Wall Street Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The US Congress is rolling back some of the restraints put on banks after the global financial crisis, and the big winners aren\u2019t the Bulge Bracket<\/strong>, but smaller US banks. Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan Chase got elbowed out by smart lobbying from smaller US banks who convinced lawmakers that only banks with USD 250 bn or less in assets face reduced federal oversight and easier lending, capital and trading rules, Reuters reports<\/a>. Political junkies will want to read the WSJ\u2019s tick-tock on the lobbying effort to get the bill passed<\/a>. The big Wall Street firms had pushed hard to water-down the 2010 Dodd-Frank act by raising the oversight threshold to USD 500 bn.<\/p>\n

The new legislation is called the Crapo bill<\/strong>, and it\u2019s not a scatological reference, but rather a sobriquet arising from the rather unfortunate family name of Senate Banking Committee Chair Mike Crapo. Business Insider has a good explainer<\/a> (as does the Wall Street Journal<\/a>), CNBC offers five buys after the legislative overhaul<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re in Egypt. Should you care?<\/strong> Only to the extent that you want to be vaguely aware of rising risk in the global financial system\u2026 The Dodd-Frank act was the source of the mandatory post-financial-crisis stress tests to which large lenders are subject. Banks with assets of less than USD 100 bn are now exempt from them and regulators are allowed to be more lax with lenders who have assets of USD 100-250 bn. If you\u2019re geeky on risk, you\u2019ll want to read Rana Foroohar\u2019s column on the issue in the Financial Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In miscellany today:<\/p>\n

The best (American) football columnist in the history of the game is retiring, and <\/strong>his farewell column is absolutely epic<\/strong><\/a>. Peter King has handled Sports Illustrated\u2019s football column for 21 years and anchored its Monday Morning Quarterback (MMQB) site since 2013. If you, like us, are quiet fans of American football (as distinct from football<\/i> football), it\u2019s a massive must-read peppered with anecdotes, stats and quotes. It\u2019s so long it\u2019s never-ending. Until it does. We\u2019ll miss you, Mr. King.<\/p>\n

If you, like us, are still mopey that the third season of Stranger Things seems unlikely to debut until 2019<\/strong>, go have a look at Variety\u2019s coverage<\/a> of an appearance by director Shawn Levy and two of the show\u2019s stars at a Netflix event.<\/p>\n
