The major indexes slipped Thursday morning as regional banks struggled amid fears of a growing banking crisis in the U.S and Europe.
Credit Suisse announced plans to borrow up to $54 billion from the Swiss National Bank following reports the Saudi National Bank, its largest investor, would not provide more funding.
While the news offered Credit Suisse some relief, fear rippled through the banking sector. First Republic Bank fell 33% in premarket trading, dragging the SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF (NYSEArca: KRE) down 2.4%.
In this morning’s stock market recap video, I’ll discuss why I still believe the bank fiasco is overdone… which sectors show the most upside potential… which Federal Reserve data we need to pay close attention to today… whether bonds should stay near current levels or trade higher once again… how to navigate the current market cycle effectively… the lowest hanging fruit in terms of energy stocks, plus which option I like the most right now!

How does it work, and what can you do to protect yourself?
Jeff Zananiri is about to reveal just that during a special live session at 1 p.m. ET today, March 16!
