Stocks Slide as Silicon Valley Bank Collapse Provokes Selloff

Stocks sank on Friday, as Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) was shut down by regulators after failing to raise capital. This is the second-largest bank failure since the Global Financial Crisis.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has taken control of the bank under a new entity Deposit Insurance National Bank of Santa Clara (DINB). All of SVB’s insured deposits were transferred to DINB.

Overall, S&P 500 fell 1.5% to 3,862, while NASDAQ decreased 1.8% to 11,139.
