Bank Stocks Recover After Biggest Day of Losses Since 2020

By Brian Swint

Banks recovered Tuesday after suffering the biggest losses in three years on concerns that the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank could create contagion.

Regional banks such as $First Republic Bank(FRC-N)$ (ticker: FRC) and Western Alliance Bancorp $(WAL)$, which dropped 62% and 47% yesterday, respectively, bounced back 44% and 36%. Shares of Comerica Incorporated $(CMA)$, which fell 28% yesterday, are up 8% today. Big U.S. banks including JPMorgan $(JPM)$, Citigroup (C), and Wells Fargo $(WFC)$ advanced between 1% and 6%.

SVB and Signature Bank were closed down by regulators as depositors rushed to pull out their funds. President Joe Biden tried to reassure the public that the banking system is safe, but that didn't stop financial shares from sliding.

The SPDR S&P Regional Banking exchange-traded fund dropped 12.3% on Monday, its largest percentage decrease since March 2020. In Tuesday trading, it was up 7.3%.
