Need to know: Our top bank crisis coverage

Catch up on our live coverage of the black swan event rocking finance stocks Saturday, March 18, 2023   Hey Reader! It’s hard to overstate how critically important the events of the last week have been for markets - and I don’t just mean in the here and now. The repercussions of the [coordinated cash rescue for First Republic]( and the backdoor quantitative easing by the Fed could impact the way our financial system works for years to come. So what exactly happened - how did we get here, and where do we go next? In case you’ve missed any of the action so far, we’ve got you covered with today’s issue. Our expert team of analysts, investors, and traders have been all over [the black swan banking collapse]( on Money Morning LIVE. As we head into a historically critical Fed meeting this next week, make sure you catch up on all our top explainers, trades, and insights from [the unfolding bank contagion](. Here’s what you might have missed, and what you need to know now. It All Started With Silvergate The first domino to collapse was Silvergate Capital, and our team covered it live on Thursday, March 9. Check out my premarket analysis with Shah Gilani for his explainer on [how SI evolved over the years, from inception to extinction](. As luck would have it, my guest the very next day was [Anthony Scaramucci of Skybridge Capital]( - just in time for Silicon Valley Bank to start completely unraveling. We had a very timely therapy session, and talked about what he sees for markets going forward. (He also complimented my home studio background - Tony gets me, guys.) [This picture is on my fridge at home now.]( How We Traded It Now, I had no idea the banking crisis was set to unfold the way it has - but I was still able to get myself, and my subscribers, out of the way of some serious carnage. How? [By following market momentum, my north star]( - and if you’re not on the list for my Midday Momentum newsletter, [please join me over there]( to learn more. Of course, we all have our own unique ways of approaching market mayhem. That’s what makes the expert trading team here at Money Morning LIVE so powerful. So when the regional banking sector caught a flood of trading volume and started triggering every market circuit breaker out there - we’re talking limit up AND limit down - our day trading expert Kenny Glick ran right into the dumpster fire. If you’re the kind of trader who loves to stay nimble and liquid like Kenny, [check out what he has to say about trading around stock halts](. And for more of his best daily insights on this insane market, get on the list for his [This is VWAP]( newsletter. What’s Up With Crypto? Make no mistake - the digital asset market is intricately woven into the fabric of this story. Years ago, banks like Silicon Valley argued they should be exempt from certain bank capital regulations due to their involvement in the relatively novel cryptocurrency space; now, as fiat currency floods to the rescue, benchmark assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum are catching an apparent “safe haven” bid as investor confidence in the banking system appears incredibly low. Here’s Chris Johnson talking about [the “risk on” technical trade]( in BTC to start the week, and here’s my own personal market historian [Brandon Burton highlighting some easy tradable signals on Bitcoin](. (Is there anything Brandon can’t do, besides wear sleeves?) Plus, here’s Mark Sebastian’s top chart expert from Option Pit, Licia Leslie, explaining [the hidden message from investors]( in BTC’s screaming Friday rally. …So, What’s Next? Coming up, we have an absolutely critical Fed decision on Wednesday this week. Kenny Glick and I will be covering the market reaction live in the main room, so [follow our schedule]( to make sure you don’t miss any big moves. And of course, we’ll be back at 8:30 AM Eastern on Monday for the morning show with Mark, Shah, Voz, Kenny, and the rest of the team. It’s a critical time for your money, and we’ve got your back. I’ll see you there.
