Market Jitters and Banking Crisis: What's Next?
TL;DR Summary
Fears of a fresh financial crisis have risen, with searches for "financial crisis" in America at a ten-year high. Three mid-sized American banks have failed, and bank shares in Europe and America are down by 14% and 20%, respectively. However, the broader stock market has remained relatively calm, with the VIX "fear" index at a benign 22. Investors are expecting the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates by less than previously thought, which may be keeping markets buoyant.
