New Fed data shows banks lost ~$100 billion in deposits JUST last week.

Here’s the breakdown:

1. Large US Banks: +$67B
2. Small US Banks: -$120B
3. Foreign-Related Banks: -$45B

The worst part is that SVB is a "large bank" in their model, and large banks still added $67B.

The crisis has spread to Europe with the collapse of Credit Suisse, $CS, and Deutsche Bank credit default swaps hitting a 4-year high.

Meanwhile, there still is not a solution.
