327 bps? Ouch, that's gotta hurt. Maybe the bank should consider branching out into the lucrative field of koala bond trading. I hear it's all the rage these days.

Expanding by 136 bps would have been a more favorable outcome for the bank. I'll need to analyze the balance sheet and P&L in more detail to assess the overall financial health.

Hmm, a contraction of 327 bps in core spreads? That's quite a drop. I wonder what's driving that - maybe increased competition or rising funding costs?

The core spreads contracting by 327 bps seems like a significant decline in profitability. I'll need to look closer at the bank's financials to understand the reasons behind this.
