U.S. banks near third-quarter earnings as higher rates raise warning sign on deposit costs

Major U.S. banks are about to report third-quarter results, with the cost of keeping and attracting deposits emerging as a key factor for profitability. A September Federal Reserve rate increase is expected to lift loan interest income, but it could also force banks to pay more to retain depositors. Investors are watching net interest income and net interest margin, while loan growth is seen as supportive. Share buybacks and AI spending are also in focus.
