Abstract:Solid Loan Demand Growth Continues amid Pricing Increases
Loan demand and loan volumes continued to increase at a robust pace over the past six weeks, despite a sharp rise in loan pricing. Loan volume increases spanned lending types, and growth remained strongest for commercial real estate loans. Nonperforming loans continued to decrease, and credit standards and terms tightened slightly. Contacts expressed concerns about the effects of interest rate increases, inflation, rising wages and staffing shortages. Respondents expect increases in loan demand and decreases in nonperforming loans over the next six months. While general business activity continued to improve over the previous reporting period, expectations for six months from now were mixed.

| Data were collected March 22–30, and 64 financial institutions responded to the survey. The Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas conducts the Banking Conditions Survey twice each quarter to obtain a timely assessment of activity at banks and credit unions headquartered in the Eleventh Federal Reserve District. CEOs or senior loan officers of financial institutions report on how conditions have changed for indicators such as loan volume, nonperforming loans and loan pricing. Respondents are also asked to report on their banking outlook and their evaluation of general business activity.Survey responses are used to calculate an index for each indicator. Each index is calculated by subtracting the percentage of respondents reporting a decrease (or tightening) from the percentage reporting an increase (or easing). When the share of respondents reporting an increase exceeds the share reporting a decrease, the index will be greater than zero, suggesting the indicator has increased over the prior reporting period. If the share of respondents reporting a decrease exceeds the share reporting an increase, the index will be below zero, suggesting the indicator has decreased over the prior reporting period. An index will be zero when the number of respondents reporting an increase is equal to the number reporting a decrease. |

Want to gain a wider forex market position control by investing a minimal amount? Consider using leverage in forex. It implies using borrowed funds to raise your trading position more than your cash balance can let you do it. Forex traders usually employ leverage to churn out profits from relatively small currency pair price changes. However, there is a double-edged sword with leverage since it can multiply profits as well as losses. Therefore, using leverage in the right amount is key for traders. Forex market leverage can be 50:1 to 100:1 or more, which remains significantly greater than the 2: leverage usually offered in equities and 15:1 leverage in futures.
