European markets close the week down banks still weigh

(Tiper Stock Exchange) – Yet another negative day for the European stock exchanges, with Piazza Affari confirming itself among the worst, on the persistent tensions in the banking world. In fact, the interventions of the US and Swiss authorities have not restored calm to the markets, which appear to be volatile and ready to react to any negative news. In the Old Continent, the focus remains on the difficulties of Credit Suissewith the bank in crisis and the competitor UBS extension which appear opposed to a forced merger, even if the Swiss authorities continue to work to find a solution in this sense.

The banking crises of svb and Credit Suisse have recalled 2008 even though the current scenario is totally different and the banking sector is much stronger. “The interest rate hike has created a more favorable operating environment for banks than it has been for many years,” notes Mark Dowding, CIO of BlueBay. “Furthermore, counterparty risk has been mitigated by centralized clearing of derivatives and therefore the weakness of one institution should not threaten another. the truth is that at the foundation of the banking sector, trust is everything. If trust is compromised, it’s hard to restore.”
