\"\"<\/a>If the financial markets are going to be just fine, then why did Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin make emergency calls to the CEOs of the six biggest banks in America on Sunday?\u00a0 And if we don\u2019t have anything to worry about, then why has he scheduled an emergency call with the Presidents Working Group on Financial Markets on Christmas Eve?\u00a0 Actions speak louder than words, and we haven\u2019t seen these sorts of emergency moves since the last financial crisis.\u00a0 Last week was the worst week for the stock market in 10 years<\/a>, and it is understandable that they would want to try to do something to ease the panic in the marketplace, but for many this is just going to confirm that a new financial crisis has now arrived.\u00a0 The following is from Secretary Mnuchin\u2019s official statement<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

Washington \u2014 Secretary Mnuchin conducted a series of calls today with the CEOs of the nations six largest banks: Brian Moynihan, Bank of America; Michael Corbat, Citi; David Solomon, Goldman Sachs; Jamie Dimon, JP Morgan Chase, James Gorman, Morgan Stanley; Tim Sloan, Wells Fargo. The CEOs confirmed that they have ample liquidity available for lending to consumer, business markets, and all other market operations. He also confirmed that they have not experienced any clearance or margin issues and that the markets continue to function properly.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow, the Secretary will convene a call with the President\u2019s Working Group on financial markets, which he chairs. This includes the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Commodities Futures Trading Commission.
