<p class="has-drop-cap">After falling sharply throughout the week, the shares of multiple US regional banks experienced a dramatic rally on Friday, May 5th. PacWest saw the most significant rise throughout the day and closed more than 82% in the green. Despite the positive turn today, most of the banks’ shares are still significantly lower than they were when they opened on Monday.</p>

<p>Throughout Friday, the stocks of multiple American regional banks experienced a significant rally. PacWest’s shares saw the most significant rise and closed the trading day 81.70% in the green at $5.76. Despite the rally, the bank is still down more than 43% since Monday as it had, among other setbacks, experienced a sharp drop on Wednesday after it was reported <a href="https://tokenist.com/pacwest-bank-collapses-53-after-reports-of-possible-sale-emerge/" rel="dofollow" class="deco-link">it is seeking a buyer</a>.</p> 
<p>Western Alliance also saw a dramatic rise of 49.31% on Friday. The bank was embroiled in drama on Thursday when it declined close to 50% after <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/bf2bd5af-1e55-4be3-b29d-f5cae9533b29" target="_blank" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" class="deco-link">a Financial Times report</a> indicated it is, much like PacWest, exploring strategic options. On the same day, the bank’s shares whipsawed and mildly recovered after it published a statement <a href="https://tokenist.com/western-alliance-denies-its-looking-for-buyers-calls-ft-report-shameful/" rel="dofollow" class="deco-link">claiming the initial report was false</a>.</p> 
<p>Despite also dropping around 37% for the week, the shares of First Horizon Bank failed to recover as much as the other two lenders on Friday. Its stock was up only 8.75% by the market’s close as the major reason for its drop came in the form of a <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/04/investing/first-horizon-td-bank/index.html" target="_blank" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" class="deco-link">failed merger with the Toronto-Dominion Bank</a>.</p>

<h3 id="why-are-us-regional-banks-down-this-week">Why Are US Regional Banks Down This Week?</h3> 
<p>The key event that triggered the selling pressure experienced by multiple US regional banks this week was the <a href="https://tokenist.com/four-us-bank-failures-in-four-months-is-the-wave-over/" rel="dofollow" class="deco-link">receivership and sale of First Republic</a> early on Monday. The regulatory action reignited the banking crisis that has been relatively dormant for around a month and that started in the first half of March.</p> 
<p>Between March 8th and 13th, three US regional banks—Silevrage, Silicon Valley, and Signature—were either liquidated or shut down by the authorities. While the government subsequently implemented emergency measures to stabilize the situation, they failed to fully restore confidence after it was revealed that the lenders were using the discount window <a href="https://tokenist.com/us-banks-borrowed-148b-from-feds-discount-window-this-week-highest-level-since-2008/" rel="dofollow" class="deco-link">to borrow at a pace not seen since 2008</a>.</p> 
<p>By mid-March, First Republic emerged as the most likely fourth bank to fall victim to the crisis. While multiple attempts to rescue the lender, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/credit-suisse-borrow-up-54-bln-it-seeks-calm-investor-fears-2023-03-16/#:~:text=March%2016%20(Reuters)%20%2D%20Large,lenders%20over%20the%20past%20week." target="_blank" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" class="deco-link">including a $30 billion injection</a> by some of America’s largest banks, were made, the company was ultimately seized at the beginning of this week.</p>
