Market Update Into 3/22: Banks Take a Hit on Fed’s Capital Requirements

Friday closed in a mixed fashion; as has been common over the last few months. The Dow and S&P lost ground while tech bounced back to the surprise of many. The decline in the broader indexes was said to be brought on by the Fed ending a pandemic exemption which allowed them to carry loss-absorbing assets on their books; hitting the banking sector the hardest. The increase in financial sector capital requirements was booed by investors. While a spike in treasury yields injected some life into the NASDAQ; with some wondering if there isn’t more to it than this.
