The New York Dow turned down today to close at -$280. Credit concerns for Swiss bank Credit Suisse reported on the 15th weighed on the market.
Credit Suisse, a major Swiss financial group, announced in a financial report on the 14th that there were problems with internal controls in its financial reports for 2021 and 2022 and that there were “significant weaknesses”, and foreign media on the 15th. reported that the company’s largest shareholder, a Saudi financial institution, does not intend to make additional investments. Concerns about management are rising, and with the company’s share price plummeting by more than 30%, major French banks BNP Paribas and Société Générale also fell by more than 10%.
The STOXX Europe 600 index fell by more than 3% at one point, and the S&P 500 stock index fell by more than 2% at one point as European bank stocks plunged across the board. The chain reaction of financial risks caused by the recent failure of Silicon Valley Bank in the United States has spread to Europe.
The day before, US authorities such as the FDIC and Fed launched aggressive financial measures, and inflation indicators (CPI) were within the expected range. Globally, concerns about the financial system have reignited since 2008. Meanwhile, the Swiss National Bank said it would provide liquidity to Credit Suisse if needed. The U.S. Treasury Department is monitoring the situation at Credit Suisse.

The US Producer Price Index fell unexpectedly in February, suggesting easing inflationary pressures. On a month-on-month basis, it unexpectedly turned negative for the first time since December, and year-on-year growth has contracted more than expected since January, reaching its lowest level since March 2021. The February CPI, released the day before, still showed persistent inflation, but the improvement in the supply chain and falling commodity prices were behind the slowdown in the PPI.
