The Silicon Valley Bank Failure's Capital

Markets Implications



April  7, 2023


The sudden failure of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and Signature Bank and troubles at several other banks
(e.g., First Republic Bank and Credit Suisse) triggered a selloff of bank shares in March 2023. Regional
bank shares (e.g., KBW Nasdaq regional bank index) were down nearly 20% year-to-date through March
17, 2023, while the general stock market performance (e.g., S&P 500 index) had a slight gain of 2% for
the same period. As of April 5, 2023, the overall stock market indexes went up higher, but regional bank
shares remained at depressed price levels (Figure 1). This Insight is part of a CRS product series
explaining the SVB event from multiple financial services perspectives. It focuses on the SVB failure's
capital markets implications.
