Major U.S. banks continue to report capital ratios well above Federal Reserve requirements following recent stress tests, reflecting stronger balance sheets and post-crisis regulatory frameworks that reduce the likelihood of needing government support before 2027. Market-implied odds at 92% for no bailout capture trader confidence in contained systemic risks amid steady economic data and limited near-term catalysts for distress. While this consensus aligns with current conditions, realistic scenarios such as a sharp commercial real estate downturn or unexpected liquidity event at a major institution could still shift probabilities if they materialize rapidly.

-Establishing a Federal Reserve emergency lending facility
-Creating an FDIC-assisted resolution or bridge bank
-A U.S. Treasury capital injection
-A publicly disclosed, regulatory-facilitated acquisition

Routine access to standing facilities (such as the discount window or BTFP) or participation in stress tests, capital raises, or ordinary supervision will not on their own qualify.
