The Weekly Five

Global Reverberations From California

Financial sector stress wrought havoc this week, resulting in the closure of two U.S. banks and, in Europe, amplifying pressure on Credit Suisse.

  1. How is a small regional bank’s failure having such wide reverberations in the global economy?
  2. Just how wide will the impact of banking turmoil be on the global economy?
  3. How will what happened impact Fed decisions?
  4. What changes should investors make to their portfolios in light of these events?
