After multiple financial scandals, the Bank Crédit Suisse which has been in turmoil for three years is now a dangerous weak link in Europe. Its fall, which constitutes a new stock market storm that makes us fear the worst, reinforces the point after the bankruptcy of américaine Silicon Valley Bank.

On Wednesday, March 15, 2023, Western stock markets experienced spectacular falls, after rebounding the day before. They have witnessed the excitement of investors with regard to the banking sector and the Crédit Suisse . Paris fell by 3.58% and London by 3.83%, the worst trading session in a year in Europe, and Frankfurt dropped 3.27%. For its part, the European banking sector index (Stoxx 600 Banks) plunged by nearly 7%. In America, markets are moving in the red. The VIX index, which measures market volatility, jumped as much as 20% on Wednesday. This shows the nervousness of investors. The expanded S&P 500 index fell by 1.56% shortly after the European close, the Nasdaq index by 0.95%, and the Dow Jones fell by 1.77%.
