US Banks' Unrealized Losses Surge to $325.1 Billion in Q1 2026 as Mortgage Rates Rise: FDIC

According to the FDIC, US banks' unrealized losses increased to $325.1 billion in the first quarter of 2026, up $19.0 billion, or 6.2 percent, from the prior quarter. The 30-year mortgage rate rose in March, decreasing the value of mortgage-backed securities and driving the increase in unrealized losses.

The number of banks on the FDIC's Problem Bank List fell by six to 54 banks in Q1 2026, representing 1.3 percent of total banks and within the normal 1-2 percent range for non-crisis periods.
