Biden Administration Announces Emergency Measures to Backstop Bank Customers’ Deposits, But Market Remains Uncertain

Following the second- and third-largest bank failures in U.S. history, the Biden administration and federal regulators announced emergency measures to backstop customers’ deposits, even those that weren’t insured. Despite the emergency measures, Wall Street’s confidence in regional banks remained shaky, causing the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Nasdaq composite to dip or rise, respectively. Investors are uncertain about the future of regional banks and are watching to see if the emergency measures will be enough to protect customers’ deposits and stabilize the banking system.
