In response to market instability triggered by aggressive trade tariffs proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump, the Bank of England (BoE) has initiated checks with London banks regarding potential liquidity issues faced by clients, particularly hedge funds. The BoE's Prudential Regulation Authority has sought information on whether financial institutions are experiencing problems related to funding or margin calls. Concurrently, European regulators are increasing scrutiny of bank liquidity as concerns over market stability grow. The European Central Bank (ECB) has also intensified its monitoring of bank liquidity, with sources indicating that feedback from these checks has been reassuring. The overall market rout has raised alarms among financial institutions, prompting calls for vigilance and transparency.
