Banking-industry jitters could mean more pain for stocks as the Fed’s battle with inflation is dragged out- March 14, 2023 at 7:29 a.m. ET-By Joseph Adinolfi
Aftershocks from the collapse of three American banks in less than a week could spell more pain for stocks in the weeks ahead by creating new obstacles for the Federal Reserve in its battle against inflation, market strategists said.U.S. authorities, including the Fed, the Treasury and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., jointly announced Sunday night that Signature Bank had collapsed over the weekend, following the failure two days before of Silicon Valley Bank and the closure of Silvergate Bank last Wednesday. The plan allowed depositors at SVB and Signature to access all of their money on Monday.The regulatory response also included a new Fed program, called the Bank Term Funding Program, or BTFP, to lend money to banks in a manner that values their collateral at par.While many economists expect stability to return to the banking system, some market strategists worry the Fed might be forced to ease up on its interest rate hikes, dragging out its battle against inflation and potentially doing even more damage to the stock market in the process.If the Fed halts or slows its program of rate hikes, “it will ultimately need to do more to slow things down later,” potentially creating more “instability” for markets and the economy, said Neil Dutta, head of economics at Renaissance Macro Research.Other strategists said the trend already appeared to be manifesting in markets as investors on Monday flocked to the safety of government bonds, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.28% finished lower for the fifth straight session, its longest losing streak since September.Simon Ree, a former Wall Street trader and author of the book “the Tao of Trading,” noted that stocks weren’t responding positively to the latest drop in bond yields, a sign that investors may be growing increasingly concerned about a recession, even as investors see odds that the Fed could ease up on its rate hikes.Treasury yields declines sharply in the past three days, with the 2-year yield TMUBMUSD02Y, 4.288% falling more than 100 basis points from its peak on Thursday, according to FactSet data. It stood at 4.030% on Monday afternoon in New York. down from 5% on Thursday. Bond yields and prices move in opposite directions.Since the market opened on Thursday, the S&P 500 has fallen by more than 3%, according to FactSet data. Also, the Cboe Volatility Index VIX, -7.62%, otherwise known as the Vix VIX, -7.62% or Wall Street’s “fear gauge,” hit its highest level since October on Monday, according to FactSet data, climbing north of 25.Lower bond yields that have yet to boost stocks may be a sign that “inflation concerns are taking a back seat here, and the market is more focused on a genuine risk-off sort of move,” Ree told MarketWatch.Stocks generally have rallied in recent months on any indication that the Fed might take a less aggressive stance on interest rates. Should the Fed change its policy course due to jitters about potential contagion risks in the banking sector, it could harm stocks instead of helping them, according to Mohannad Aama, a portfolio manager at Beam Capital.“Pausing because you think there’s systemic risk in the banking sector, or some other reason, is different than saying ‘our job is done here’,” Aama told MarketWatch by phone.Still, should the Fed deliver another 25 basis point hike next week, as widely expected, the outlook for markets may continue to remain murky, strategists said. Investors still need to see how inflation data develops in the coming months, although they’ll receive another update on Tuesday when the February consumer-price index is released.Economists polled by The Wall Street Journal expect to see inflation slow to a 6% pace year-over-year compared with 6.4% in January. That’s far from the Fed’s 2% annual target.The Fed also need to monitor how quickly concerns about the stability of the banking system subside, said Steven Kelly, senior research associate at Yale’s program on financial stability, in a phone interview with MarketWatch.Kelly expects federal authorities to succeed in restoring confidence, but “if they start announcing facility after facility, then you might need to see more dovish monetary policy,” he said.Also, should contagion fears subside relatively quickly, markets still appear to be bracing for greater economic blowback if banks cut back on lending, according to George Saravelos, global co-head of currency research at Deutsche Bank.“The market is sending a consistent message today: it fears that a US recession is about to start,” he said in a note to clients.U.S. stocks finished mostly lower on Monday, with the S&P 500 index SPX, -0.15% falling 0.2%, according to FactSet data, while the Dow COMP, +0.45% fell for a fifth straight day, its longest losing streak since September. The SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF KRE, -12.31% fell more than 12%. The Nasdaq Composite COMP, +0.45% rose 0.5%, making it the only index to finish higher.
Biometric Schengen Information System goes live, UK readies ETAs-Mar 13, 2023, 1:25 pm EDT-| Frank Hersey
The European Union’s upgraded Schengen Information System (SIS) for security and border management is now in operation, incorporating biometrics of those registered. Cyprus is preparing to finally join the system while post-Brexit UK is introducing its own Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) scheme.The system is operational in 30 countries made up of 26 EU Member States and four Schengen countries. SIS links national systems to a central system and works as a network between the systems on counter-terrorism, irregular migration, vulnerable persons as well as boat, aircraft and firearm registration.“The renewed SIS is the foundation of the most advanced border management system in the world that we are building. Together with the Entry/Exit System (EES) and the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS), SIS will be part of the interoperability architecture,” states the European Commission.Along with new types of alerts and more data flowing through the new SIS, biometrics have been added to confirm and verify the identities of those in the system.These include fingerprints, palm prints, “fingermarks and palmmarks” that can be searched through the automated fingerprint identification system in SIS. DNA records will also be included but only for missing persons.The system does not yet use facial image recognition. The European Commission has to provide a report on the readiness and reliability of facial recognition on which the European Parliament will be consulted.Only then will it be incorporated into SIS for use at border crossings. “After that, the Commission may adopt delegated acts determining other circumstances in which photographs and facial images may be used to identify persons,” states a Commission summary.Cyprus to join SIS, looks to joining Schengen-The Mediterranean island nation of Cyprus is expected to join the renewed biometric SIS in the summer, according to the Commission or more specifically from the end of July according to Cypriot media outlet KNews.“We particularly focused on ways we can improve visa policy for third country citizens or even citizens of specific countries without exempting them from criteria – based visa requirements, and without this creating either immigration risks or risks to the security of Cypriot citizens,” the Cypriot Justice Minister Anna Koukkides-Prokopiou is quoted as saying, further describing the security challenges of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and impact on the region.Croatia joined Schengen on 1 January and both Bulgaria and Romania are well into the process. Cyprus is undergoing the Schengen evaluation process to assess its readiness to join. Once the SIS is operational there, the process will be verified and subject to a dedicated evaluation expected this year.UK launches biometric ETA, initially for Gulf states-From October 2023, Qatari visitors to the UK will be able to apply – with their biometrics – for the new Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA), followed by visitors from other Gulf Cooperation Council states and Jordan before a worldwide rollout by the end of 2024.From then on it will be a requirement for worldwide visitors who do not need a visa for short stays. Visitors from America, Australia and Europe, for example, will all need to complete the process, except Irish nationals or those legally resident in Ireland who are covered by the Common Travel Area.“ETAs will enhance our border security by increasing our knowledge about those seeking to come to the UK and preventing the arrival of those who pose a threat,” comments Immigration Minister Robert Jenrick.“It will also improve travel for legitimate visitors, with those visiting from Gulf Cooperation Council states being among the first to benefit.”Biometrics will be captured and suitability questions posed in the online registration described as “quick, light touch and entirely digital with most visitors applying via a mobile app and receiving a swift decision on their application.”No fees are given although it is described as costing roughly the same as other international schemes. The ETA is valid for two years and can be used multiple times unlike the single-visit and more expensive Electronic Visa Waiver (EVW) Scheme it replaces.

Contracts for national biometric travel IDs won by HID in Bahrain, Veridos in Guyana-Mar 13, 2023, 3:38 pm EDT-| Chris Burt
A pair of major contracts for national biometric travel ID documents have been won by HID Global and Veridos.HID Global has won a contract to deliver end-to-end biometric passport technology for enrollment, personalization and issuance to the Kingdom of Bahrain.The contract includes HID’s SOMA chip operating system, and its modular HID Integrale software. Biometric data from Bahraini citizens will be stored in an electronic chip to enable the country to join the International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) Public Key Directory (PKD) group, which allows the exchange of data between 180 nations.Bahrain’s new passport will meet the highest level of security, HID says, with a color portrait of the passport holder and the company’s Mirage security feature.The new passport will make airport processes easier for its holders, as well as ease visa issuance and exemptions, government officials say.The value of the contract was not revealed.Barbados selected HID to design its new biometric passports a year ago.Veridos wins Guyana contract-Guyana’s government has chosen Veridos to deliver an ICAO-compliant ID card intended for international travel, as well as access to public services and verification for private sector transactions, the Guyana Chronicle reports.Veridos submitted one of two bids for the project, and was assessed as the better option by the National Data Management Authority (NDMA) and the Office of the National Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Advisor.“Through this card, the banking sector now can have fingerprint verification and validation of the person who’s before them,” says Guyana President Dr. Irfaan Ali, as quoted by the Chronicle. “So, the need for proof of address and all the audit documentation is eliminated. The cost of doing business, the effectiveness, the competitiveness, the efficiency will all improve as a result of this technology.”The capabilities of the digital ID card are meant to align with Guyana’s plan to digitize health, education, security and agricultural services, as well as permit and license processing.The project is expected to be implemented over the next 12 months, and the contract stipulates five years of support and maintenance.Guyana is supported in its national ID card project by the United Arab Emirates.Veridos updates smartcard software for Java-Veridos has also unveiled updates to its Sm@rtCafé Expert 8.0 and Applet Suite 4.0 smartcard software, which now support Java to lower the cost and effort required to integrate further software with digital identity documents. The software supports IDs with broad application, like Guyana’s.The Applet Suite 4.0 enables customers to build modular applications based on its Sm@rtCafé Expert software.Possible applications include electronic signatures or authentication for access control, registration to insurance or driver’s licenses.The software complies with the Java Card 3.1 standard and Common Criteria Certificate 6+.“With the upgrades, as well as the move to a Java-based system, we enable our partners to use a software solution that they can customize and further expand as they see fit,” says Marc-Julian Siewert, CEO at Veridos. “They can make changes and innovations much more easily with the new standardization and are thus ideally positioned for the future.”

A series of updates from Rank One Computing highlight the accuracy of the company’s facial recognition software, and its commercial prospects in the school safety market.A pilot of ROC’s facial recognition at West Fairmont Middle School in West Virginia is continuing, with officials from the Department of Homeland Security, local and state lawmakers, and superintendents from other school districts visiting to see the technology in action, The Dominion Post reports (via Yahoo).The district is building up its database of parents, vendors, and other visitors to the school.Officials are now working towards the implementation of ROC’s facial recognition in the county’s 19 other schools, according to the report.NIST FRVT success-The latest version of the ROC SDK showed major improvements across the board in the 1:N benchmark test by the National Institute of Standards and Technology dated February 2, 2023.The company says it scored the best combination of accuracy and efficiency of any global technology provider, and the lowest error rate among Western developers. The ROC algorithms error rate was cut in half in just five months, according to a company announcement.“We are pleased but not surprised to see that our latest edition of ROC SDK leads the pack on facial recognition,” says CEO Scott Swann. “Through continuous innovation, ROC.ai will only continue to shape the future of the global biometrics landscape with objectively superior computer-vision capabilities.”A company blog post announcement compares the performance of the ROC SDK v2.4 favorably to other leading competitors in the visa border category.ROC says that while Chinese companies are leading seven out of eight categories, its own accuracy is often within 0.1 percent of the global leader. In efficiency, as expressed by template size, comparison time, template generation time and amount of memory needed to run the algorithm, ROC ranks well ahead of its closest market competitors by error rate.The post also delves into ROC’s normalized error rates across different demographics, and the improvement of its accuracy over time.New COO appointed-Tony Brown has been named Chief Operating Officer of ROC AI following several years of working with the company as a contractor and consultant.Brown is the co-founder and former COO of consultancy Acute Insight. He brings experience in biometrics, identity management, and science and technology portfolio management, according to the announcement.
Switzerland advances with plan to access asylum seekers’ digital data for ID verification-Mar 13, 2023, 12:19 pm EDT-| Ayang Macdonald
Authorities in Switzerland are advancing a plan that will update the country’s immigration laws to grant border officials the power to verify digital data on the smartphones or other mobile devices of asylum seeker who cannot prove their identity, nationality or itinerary, according to the Swiss State Secretariat for Migration website.The move comes at a time when the Swiss State Secretariat for Migration says that the country is facing numerous challenges following the growing number of asylum seekers arriving from different countries facing socio-political crises.Switzerland is said to have received 24,511 asylum applications in 2022, a number which does not include refugees from Ukraine who are granted the S protection status, currently around 69,000 according to a recent tweet.Consultations for the new digital data access policy are ongoing as the government seeks to revise the law, which will be vital in helping immigration officials, as well as border officials, to establish the nationality and identity of people seeking asylum in the country.The proposed amendments would allow immigration controls to check the smartphones, computers or devices of asylum seekers under specific conditions, notably in circumstances where the identity or nationality of the asylum seekers in question cannot be established by other means.Applicants will be informed of the searches.The proposal has been put out for relevant stakeholders including civil society organizations and digital rights advocacy groups to make their inputs before a 19 June deadline, per a report by Swiss Info.The plan will also specify which category of immigration officers will be allowed access to such data, and the asylum seekers will also be notified in advance if any data checks must be conducted on their devices.In a related development, the foreign affairs committee of Switzerland’s House of Representatives, last month, wrote to immigration officials asking for all barriers impeding the rapid issuance of visas to victims of the devastating earthquake in Turkey and Syria to be removed.The call came as authorities insisted that all refugees seeking to enter Switzerland as a result of the disaster must hold identification documents such as their passports, writes Swiss Info. The Secretariat website states a valid travel document is still required.Despite the call from the parliamentary committee, immigration authorities said for security reasons, they would not let in people who have no passports or any other form of identification.Foreign Minister Ignazio Cassis said at the time that the country was willing to accept Turkish quake victims without any ID.Switzerland launched the latest version of its biometric passport at the close of last year.
