Banks have been repositioning their balance sheet to limit the hit to their profitability from sagging loan demand, as hotter-than-expected inflation raises fears of borrowing costs staying higher for longer. Dallas, Texas-based Comerica reduced its short-term borrowings by 53% from last year and 36% from the prior quarter, which helped soften the hit to its net interest income (NII) - the difference between what banks earn on loans and assets and pay on deposits and other debt.
