By Pete Schroeder, Tom Westbrook and Scott Murdoch (Reuters) - A $30 billion lifeline for First Republic Bank (NYSE:FRC) hosed down market fears about an imminent banking collapse on Friday, but a late tumble in the troubled U.S. lender's shares showed investors were still worried about cracks in the sector. Large U.S. banks injected the funds into San Francisco-based bank on Thursday, swooping in to rescue the lender caught up in a widening crisis triggered by the collapse of two other mid-size U.S. lenders over the past week. The deal was put together by top power brokers including U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, who had discussed the package this week, according to a source familiar with the situation. The package came less than a day after Swiss bank Credit Suisse clinched an emergency central bank loan of up to $54 billion to shore up its liquidity. Those deals helped restore calm to global markets on Thursday and Friday, following a torrid week for banking stocks. However, while First Republic's stock closed up 10% on news of the rescue, its shares fell 18% in after-market trading after the bank said it would suspend its dividend and disclosed its cash position and just how much emergency liquidity it needed. Analysts says authorities appear eager to quickly deal with systemic risks, but worry the potential for a banking crisis is far from over. "They will keep the money in First Republic to keep it alive for self interest ... to stop the run on banks. Then they will take it away gradually and the bank will play out a slow death," said Mathan Somasundaram, founder at research firm Deep Data Analytics in Sydney. "Yellen was clear overnight that all bank deposits were protected, but the bank might not be there," he said. Some of the biggest U.S. banking names including JPMorgan Chase & Co (NYSE:JPM), Citigroup Inc (NYSE:C), Bank of America Corp (NYSE:BAC), Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) & Co, Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) and Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) were involved in the rescue, according to a statement from the banks. While the support has prevented an imminent collapse, investors were startled by late disclosures about First Republic's cash position, even after the injection, and just how much it and others leaned on the Fed this month for support. Data on Thursday showed banks in the United States sought record amounts of emergency liquidity from the Fed in recent days, driving up the size of the central bank's balance sheet after months of contraction. More broadly, worries about contagion risks persist. "I don't think we are in the crux of a global financial crisis. Balance sheets are much better than they were in 2008, banks are better regulated," said Karen Jorritsma, head of Australian equities, RBC Capital Markets. "But people are concerned that the contagion risk is real, and that rattles confidence." LESSONS FROM 2008 For now, authorities are confident the banking system is resilient and have tried to emphasise that the current turmoil is different to the global financial crisis 15 years ago as banks are better capitalised and funds more easily available. On Thursday, the European Central Bank pressed forward with a 50-basis-point rate hike, arguing that euro zone banks were in good shape and that if anything, the move to higher rates should bolster their margins. Focus now swings to the Fed's policy decision next week and whether it will stick with its aggressive interest rate hikes as it seeks to get inflation under control. In Asia, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand said they were monitoring financial markets but were confident their local banks were well capitalised and able to withstand major shocks. Japan's finance ministry, financial regulator and central bank said they would meet on Friday to discuss financial market developments. Banking stocks globally have been battered since Silicon Valley Bank collapsed last week due to bond-related losses that piled up when interest rates surged last year, raising questions about what else might be lurking in the wider banking system. Within days, the market turmoil had ensnared Credit Suisse, forcing it to borrow from Switzerland's central bank. By Thursday, the spotlight whipsawed back to the United States as big banks shored up support for First Republic, a regional lender. Its shares have dropped more than 70% since March 6. " onerror="this.style.display='none'" class="msg-img" /> Credit Suisse became the first major global bank to take up an emergency lifeline since the 2008 financial crisis as fears of contagion swept the banking sector and raised doubts over whether central banks will be able to sustain aggressive rate hikes to rein in inflation. Rapidly rising rates have made it harder for some businesses to pay back or service loans, increasing the chances of losses for lenders already worried about a recession. Credit Suisse shares closed 19% higher on Thursday, recovering some of their 25% fall on Wednesday. Since March 8, European banks have lost around $165 billion in market value, Refinitiv data shows.

By Tom Westbrook SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Asia's stock markets slipped on Wednesday as reality bit on hopes for a soft economic landing in the United States, curbing investors' enthusiasm about China's major shift in its tough zero-COVID policy. Warnings from big U.S. banks about a likely recession next year pushed the S&P 500 lower for a fourth straight session on Tuesday and the brakes have come on a rally that has lasted almost two months. Oil also fell sharply and, with Brent futures at $79.50 a barrel, is back where it began the year. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan fell 0.2% and Japan's Nikkei fell 0.7%. "Some of the optimism that had driven the rally is being put to the test," said Shane Oliver, head of investment strategy at Australia's AMP (OTC:AMLTF). "We might be transitioning from a situation of worrying about inflation and interest rates, to one where the negatives become weakening growth and falling profits." S&P 500 futures were flat by mid-afternoon in Asia, while European futures rose 0.1%. China's national health authority said on Wednesday that asymptomatic COVID-19 cases and those with mild symptoms can self-treat while in quarantine at home. While some of the changes announced echoed similar easing moves made by other countries many months ago, the announcement was the strongest sign so far that China is preparing its people to live with the disease after nearly three years of crippling restrictions that have battered the economy. Market reaction, however, was muted as the focus shifts to how well China can execute its policy shift, especially if new COVID cases surge over winter. Analysts say the path to fully reopening the economy will be long and bumpy, and not without risk. The Shanghai Composite Index fell 0.6%, Hong Kong's Hang Seng fell 1% and the yuan was broadly steady, giving up early gains. "The reality on the ground is still one of continued pressure, even as the outlook is improving somewhat," said Mitul Kotecha, head of emerging markets' strategy at TD Securities in Singapore. Adding to the darkening demand outlook globally, China earlier in the day reported grim trade data for November, with both imports and exports suffering their biggest monthly falls since 2020 - auguring badly for recovery prospects. India on Wednesday was the latest central bank to start slowing the pace of rate increases, with a hike of its key lending rate by 35 basis points to 6.25%, smaller than the three 50 bp hikes it delivered previously. Canada is the next cab off the rank with a rates decision expected at 1500 GMT. SLOWDOWN In the United States, big banks are bracing for a worsening economy next year as inflation and rate rises threaten consumer demand, with top executives at Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS), J.P. Morgan and Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) all sounding downbeat in remarks on Tuesday. "Economic growth is slowing," said Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon. "When I talk to our clients, they sound extremely cautious." The growth fears rallied longer-dated bonds and helped the safe-haven U.S. dollar to pause its recent retreat. The yield on benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasuries fell 8.6 basis points to 3.513% overnight and was last at 3.5460%. That is more than 80 bps below the two-year yield as investors reckon on high rates hurting growth. Oil prices have also been sliding with declining demand expectations and now sit more than 40% below a high of nearly $140 a barrel made shortly after Russia's invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24. In foreign exchange markets, the dollar was seeking to steady after excitement about a slowdown in U.S. rate hikes recently knocked it from the year's highs. It was firm at 137.28 yen in Asia on Wednesday and traded at $1.0467 per euro. The Australian dollar was broadly steady at $0.6680 despite Australian third-quarter growth coming in a bit below forecasts. The Canadian dollar hovered at 1.3644 per dollar ahead of an expected rate hike from the Bank of Canada later on Wednesday. The U.S. dollar index sat at 105.5. Spot gold was steady at $1,773 an ounce and bitcoin, at $17,000, was going nowhere with cryptocurrency sentiment fragile as the fallout from the collapse of FTX ripples through the sector.

By Xie Yu and Summer Zhen HONG KONG (Reuters) -Hong Kong stocks slid to 13-year lows on Monday and onshore yuan fell to its weakest level in 15 years after Xi Jinping's newly unveiled leadership team heightened fears that economic growth will be sacrificed for ideology-driven policies. The Hang Seng index slumped 5% in early afternoon trade, touching levels last seen during the 2008-2009 global financial crisis. Hong Kong-listed shares of tech giants Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) Group Holding Ltd and Tencent Holdings (OTC:TCEHY) Ltd plunged 10% and 8% respectively, dragging the Hang Seng Tech Index down 7% to a record low. Hong Kong-listed Chinese developers plummeted 9% to record lows. Both the property and tech sectors have been targeted for far greater regulation under Xi. Xi secured a precedent-breaking third leadership term on Sunday and introduced the new Politburo Standing Committee stacked with loyalists. The appointments "show China moving from economic pragmatism to political ideology," said Ales Koutny, emerging markets portfolio manager at Janus Henderson Investors. "The message here is clear: COVID Zero lockdowns, shared prosperity agenda and sectorial crackdowns are not going anywhere," he said, adding that he believed these risks would limit China's annual economic growth to just 2-3%. China's gross domestic product (GDP) rose 3.9% in the July-September quarter year-on-year, official data showed on Monday, rebounding at a faster-than-expected pace but that was not enough to cheer investors. FOREIGN OUTFLOWS Stocks declines were more moderate for mainland markets which are less vulnerable to foreign selling and were bolstered by a surge in Chinese defence-related stocks as investors bet geopolitical tensions, particularly over Taiwan, will intensify. China's bluechip CSI300 index lost 2.3%, while the Shanghai Composite Index lost 1.4%. Onshore yuan fell to its weakest level in 15 years. Offshore yuan, in which trade began from 2011, slipped to as low as 7.2790 per dollar, near its record low. The cross-border China-Hong Kong Stock Connect saw a net outflow of roughly 9.2 billion yuan ($1.3 billion) on Monday morning. "The short-term negative factor remains China's extremely harsh COVID policies, which have hit foreign investors' confidence toward China," said Yuan Yuwei, fund manager at hedge fund house Water Wisdom Asset Management. Ravaged by China's zero-COVID policy, which seeks to stamp out all outbreaks and has resulted in frequent lockdowns, sectors such as tourism, leisure as well as hotel and catering saw steep declines. COMMON PROSPERITY During the Communist Party's 20th Congress, Xi reaffirmed his Common Prosperity drive, vowing to distribute income more fairly, and "standardise wealth accumulation mechanisms." He also emphasised national security, saying China should secure supply chains, sufficient grains and energy as well as work towards technological self-reliance. An amendment to the Communist Party's constitution enshrined "developing fighting spirit, strengthening fighting ability", while a call to oppose and deter forces seeking independence for Taiwan was also included for the first time. With investors dumping internet companies and property developers, some of those funds were re-directed into chipmakers, high-end equipment producers and defence stocks. Minyue Liu, Greater China investment specialist at BNP Paribas (OTC:BNPQY) Asset Management, said that her portfolio has reduced its exposure to stocks vulnerable to an increase geopolitical risks, favouring instead shares related to tech innovation, industrial upgrades and energy transition. Some investors are less pessimistic, arguing China's new leadership team is well aware of the importance of economic growth. "I think that there's growing consensus among policymakers, that one priority should be to make the economic cake bigger, through quality growth," said Mark Dong, general manager of Minority Asset Management (Hong Kong).

The 10-year Treasury yield, a vital benchmark that influences a vast array of consumer borrowing costs, is on its way to hitting 4% for the first time in at least 12 years -- a development that's starting to ripple across financial markets. The rate soared to as high as 3.988% on Tuesday -- more than twice as high as where it started the year -- as financial market participants come on board with the higher-for-longer view on interest rates, driven by central banks' imperative need to bring down inflation. The 10-year rate hasn't been 4% or higher on an intraday basis since April 5, 2010. The last time it finished the New York session at or above that level was in Oct. 15, 2008, according to Tradeweb data.Typically, a rising 10-year yield is seen as a sentiment signal about brighter U.S. economic prospects. This time around, however, "it's a wake-up call that inflation won't be self-curing the way it has been in the last 30 years," said Chris Low, chief economist at FHN Financial in New York. The rate is up five of the past six trading days and is on pace for its largest gain over the first three quarters of a calendar year since 1981. On Monday, it reached a 12-year high of 3.878% before knocking on the door of 4% on Tuesday -- rising closer to levels already reflected elsewhere in the Treasury market.
