He said, "Todays market is indeed terrible, but at least we finally have a reason for the Fed to rush to cut rates sooner rather than later: bank loan defaults. Nothing prompts the Fed to act faster than credit losses, as they are a clear signal that the economy is heading for a downturn." On Thursday, US stock indices generally fell as investor concerns grew about the health of regional banks loan books. Cramer pointed out that non-performing loans are an early warning sign that it is time for the central bank to ease monetary policy. The banking system has "sufficiently accrued enough problem loans" within a week, which is enough for the Fed to cut interest rates quickly without worrying too much about inflation. He emphasized that lower borrowing rates not only stimulate the economy generally but also make it easier for borrowers to avoid default.The Bank of Japan index fell 1.88%, leading the decline in Japanese stocks.

Visa's earnings exceeds projections due to robust customer demand

Visa Inc.'s quarterly earnings above analyst estimates on Tuesday, as solid consumer spending and a vacation boom throughout the majority of the United States translated into greater card spending.


After being confined to their homes due to a pandemic, pandemic-weary Americans are spending lavishly on vacation and other leisure activities, helping to keep the economy on track despite the inflationary attack.


In recent weeks, big U.S. banks like as JPMorgan Chase & Co (NYSE:JPM) and Citigroup Inc (NYSE:C) have emphasized the resilience of consumer spending amid an uncertain economic outlook, a bullish sign for card companies.


The revenue of the largest payments processor in the world climbed during the third quarter due to a 12 percent rise in payment volumes and a 40 percent increase in cross-border volumes. Cross-border travel volumes increased 16% compared to 2019.


Visa (NYSE:V) still receives its share, according to TouchdownMoney.com creator Scott Lieberman. "While a company like Walmart (NYSE:WMT) may suffer if consumers change their spending from higher-margin apparel to low-margin groceries, Visa (NYSE:V) still receives its share."


Lieberman, who covered the credit card industry for almost a decade, stated, "Visa stands to earn whether people purchase champagne in a bull market or beer in a recession."


Visa announced an adjusted net income of $1.98 per share, far more than the $1.75 per share that experts had predicted.


American Express (NYSE:AXP) boosted its annual revenue forecast on Friday as a consequence of record card usage, as did the results of the payments processor.
