Bank of America is sitting on the largest losses among the country’s biggest banks in a key portion of its bond portfolio.
Bank of America (ticker: BAC), like other banks, invests in Treasury securities and mortgage-backed securities in addition to making loans. Banks have seen the value of those bond portfolios decline in value as interest rates have risen since the start of 2022. Bond prices fall when interest rates increase.
