(Reuters) -The big six U.S. banks face a tough second quarter earnings season due to a hit from increased loan loss reserves, as the pandemic recovery gives way to a possible recession.
Though consumer spending trends remain strong, the looming threat of a recession and soaring inflation are expected to test the strength of U.S. consumers and companies.
Below is an outline of how banks have managed their reserves since 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic forced them to set aside billions of dollars to account for potential loan losses, most of which did not materalize thanks to government stimulus packages.
