US Regional Banks Struggle Amid Credit Crunch and Revenue Challenges

TL;DR
The collapse of a third US bank this week has worsened the credit crunch for American households and businesses, leading to a decline in lending and tighter lending standards. This could lead to less spending by consumers and businesses, and a potential recession this year. The Federal Reserve is expected to approve a 10th straight interest-rate hike at the conclusion of their two-day meeting on Wednesday and hint at a coming pause in increases.
