Credit Suisse Triggers Global Bank Sell-Off, U.S. Stocks Tumble.

US stocks fell as Credit Suisse's financial troubles added pressure to the banking system, with the bank's stock plunging 24% after the Saudi National Bank said regulations prevented it from providing further financial assistance.

Bank stocks had recovered somewhat on Tuesday after a rout on Monday, but regional banks were under pressure again on Wednesday.
