Several bank stocks slide while Bitcoin pumps after the first republic fails

Another wave of banking fear swept over the markets on Tuesday when the shares of Pacwest, Western Alliance and other financial institutions collapsed over 20 % that day.

This happens shortly after the California financial supervisory authorities have taken control of the first republic bank on Monday, the 84 branches are reopened under JP Morgan Chase.

The Pacwest Bancorp (PACW) based in California saw how her shares sank on Monday at 9:30 a.m. ET from $ 8.90 to $ 11:10. Since then he has recovered slightly to $ 6.15 at the time of writing, which corresponds to a daily net decline of 27 %.

Meanwhile, the Western Alliance Bancorporation (WAL), headquartered in Arizona, fell by similar 20.53 % from $ 36.18 to $ 28.96 that day. Other banks, including Zions (Zion) and Comerica (CMA), have suffered losses of around 10 %.

Each represents some of the greatest daily losses who have booked such banks since mid-March after the collapse of the Silicon Valley Bank and the Signature Bank on March 10th and 12th. Both Western Alliance and First Republic collapsed a whopping 76 % at this time, while Pacwest broke up by 47 % and has hardly recovered since then.

from the three, first republic lost the largest proportion of its deposits with 41 % in the first quarter. Pacwest and Western Alliance lost 17 % and 11 % of their deposits, since customers were looking for the supposed security of larger banks or higher returns in money market funds.

Finance Minister Janet Yellen has previously given in Mixed signals whether their department and the Federal Reserve would be supported by insoles at smaller banks in March Valley Bank was the case. She previously indicated that the government would only support banks from which it is assumed that it is a "systemic risk" for the banking system, which gave it to leave smaller banks for the privileged and protected larger companies.

in response to the falling share prices said Bitmex co-founder Arthur Hayes predicted collapses and follows under the forced administration of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Hayes became particularly optimistic about Bitcoin when Silicon Valley Bank collapsed in March, which led to the asset increasing from $ 20,000 to $ 28,000.
