Global Markets Plunge Amid Bank Shares' Sharp Decline.

Dow Jones and other stock futures fell as pressure on financial institutions increased following the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and a dip in Credit Suisse shares. Credit Suisse saw an all-time low in shares for the second day in a row, and other Italian banks were subjected to trading stoppage after sharp declines. U.S. banks are also declining, and regional banks fell back into the red again on Wednesday. The financial sector is under broad pressure due to bank failures that have changed the industry's mindset, potentially leading to a large credit extension contraction.
