US banks seize chance to transfer securities from HTM to AFS

Wells Fargo, JP Morgan and Citi reclassify $34bn following new hedge accounting treatment

Three large US banks took advantage of a change in hedge accounting rules to reclassify $34.3 billion of securities from held-to-maturity (HTM) to available-for-sale (AFS).
