NEW YORK (Reuters) – Wells Fargo & Co is seeing loan growth moderating after strong growth so far this year and witnessing downward pressure on mortgage revenue as consumers feel the effect of higher interest rates, its chief financial officer said on Tuesday.
“There will be stress right as the economy slows. So that’s going to come in terms of some of these portfolios, it’s just so far it is weathering quite well,” said Mike Santomassimo at the Barclays investor conference.
Hopes of a landing soft enough to avoid recession is waning as the US central bank remains steadfast in its decision to keep raising rates until data shows a pullback in consumer prices.
