The Bank Panic Is Already Over (Heres Why) | John Maxfield

Published: April 4, 2023, 3:17 p.m.

b'John Maxfield, banking specialist and author of the Maxfield on Banks Substack, joins Jack to discuss the history and future of the U.S. banking system. Drawing on his wide-ranging historical knowledge, Maxfield notes that when it comes to banks, failure is the norm, not the exception. Maxfield argues that the acute phase of the banking panic in the U.S. is likely over, as loan yields will rise and deposit flight will slow down. \\n\\nMaxfield makes the case that, paradoxically, a serious cause of bank failure is not just not enough liquidity: often banks fail because there was too much liquidity. Maxfield and Farley take an in-depth look at Silicon Valley Bank\\u2019s enormous influx in deposits, which more than tripled since the first quarter of 2020, which they used to buy an enormous amount of securities that lost value as the Fed raised rates. \\n\\nFilmed on April 3, 2023.\\n____\\nFollow John Maxfield on Twitter https://twitter.com/MaxfieldOnBanks\\n\\u201cMaxfield on Banks\\u201d Substack: https://maxfieldonbanks.substack.com/\\nFollow Jack Farley on Twitter https://twitter.com/JackFarley96\\nFollow Forward Guidance on Twitter https://twitter.com/ForwardGuidance\\nFollow Blockworks on Twitter https://twitter.com/Blockworks_\\n____\\nUse code GUIDANCE10 to get 10% off Permissionless 2023 in Austin:\\nhttps://blockworks.co/event/permissionless-2023\\n\\nResearch, news, data, governance and models \\u2013 now, all in one place.
