First Republic Bank's Shares Continue to Plummet as JPMorgan Advises on Strategic Alternatives.

First Republic Bank shares continue to fall despite the emergency intervention by 11 of the world's largest lenders, with concerns about its financial health leading to a second downgrade by S&P Global and reports of JPMorgan discussing another rescue plan. Meanwhile, other regional banks have regained some ground, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's takeover of Signature Bank's assets has boosted New York Community Bankcorp's shares. The Federal Reserve's upcoming policy meeting will address recent developments, including the UBS takeover of Credit Suisse, which left some investors with their investments wiped out.
