No Systemic Risk from SVB Failure, but Watch Out for Areas of Vulnerability
March 2023 | The SVB bank failure is the third after Signature Bank and Silvergate Bank, and it is the largest bank failure since the 2008 financial crisis, with SVB being the 16th biggest US bank. The failure was mainly due to an asset-liability mismatch, which resulted in the materialization of losses from sales of quality bonds that were trading down amid rising yields over the last year.
01 | SVB bank failure is the third after Signature Bank and Silvergate Bank, and it is the largest bank failure since the 2008 financial crisis, with SVB being the 16th biggest US bank.
02 | We believe this is not a systemic risk: while being a negative for the market, the SVB failure is more of an idiosyncratic story rather than a systemic issue.
03 | While we believe the Fed will remain committed to fighting inflation, it will have also to assess the impact of the current crisis and its potential spillovers in its policy.

Fed Delivers a Dovish Hike: A Rate Cycle Peak May be Close
Fed Chair Jerome Powell's comments confirmed the Fed is very likely close to the peak in its rate cycle, but he clearly did not endorse the rate cuts currently priced into the market. He struck a balanced tone between maintaining financial stability and stressing the Fed's ongoing fight against inflation. He noted that while the Fed did consider a policy pause, recent stability in financial conditions appeared to have tipped the scales in favor of a hike, and he reiterated that the Fed has the tools to address financial stability risks. Overall, he worked hard to alleviate concerns about the safety of deposits, stating the banking system is safe, and well capitalized.
