Weekly Washington Policy Pulse: Bank Capital, Fed Chair, Tariff Vote (Oct 27, 2025)

A status update on proposals from the Federal Reserve -- such as the rule known as the Basel III endgame to another one on a banks' G-SIB -- led Bloomberg Intelligence's Washington Policy Pulse on Oct. 27. While Bloomberg News reports that the Fed may increase capital requirements 3%-7% via the Basel III endgame, other actions could ultimately negate that impact for banks like Bank of America, JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs. We also discussed news reports that Treasury Secretary has narrowed down a list of potential Fed chairs to five individuals as well as an upcoming Senate vote on a resolution disapproving President Donald Trump's Canada and Brazil tariffs. It should be noted that move is largely symbolic.  The Bloomberg Intelligence Financial Policy weekly call is designed to provide investors an opportunity to learn about the most recent relevant policy research, information regarding forthcoming political catalysts and other on-goings within Washington D.C. The call is open to all and is held every Monday at 10:00 a.m. EST.
