Higher interest rates are not good for financials. Higher interest rates mean more loans go into default, and lower prices for the assets collateralizing the debt. They also mean lower loan volume. Higher rates will crush bank profits.

Don't think the XIV blown up is systemic. VIX ETPs w/ AUM of $3.9bn at their peak may be huge rel to VIX mkt, often accounted for 40% of open interest, acc to Goldman. But VIX ETPs small rel to US stock mkt. In addition, now AUM have shrank to $300mln. pic.twitter.com/cmgkjx6XAb
