Fed Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review Results (CCAR) are published annually as part of the US Federal Reserve compulsory program. CCAR evaluates the adequacy of the capital of the largest US bank holding companies. The capital planning of such operations as paying the dividends or issuing and re-purchasing shares is assessed as well. The comprehensive analysis includes extensive checks and stress tests involving the three scenarios: basic, unfavorable and very unfavorable.
Published results make it possible to assess the resilience of the US banking and financial system. If most of the assessed banks do not show problems with liquidity during the analysis and pass all the tests, this has a positive impact on USD.
