Bankers have to put up a pretty face as if nothing bad will happen! Because the entire system is built on confidence. If you send a confidence-destroying message, you are damaging your own industry.

However, the signals point to a recession.

T-bills today:
1-month yield 4.737%
1-year yield 4.871%
2-year yield 4.593%
10-year yield 3.704%
30-year yield 3.712%

Notice that longer maturity bills pay less interest. This is anomalous, and is called yield curve inversion. You get lower rates for holding bonds longer. That signals the expectation that things will get worse in the future.

Every recession in US history has been prefigured by yield curve inversion. It’s an airtight correlation.
Currently, we are seeing the highest T bill inversion in 40 years.

SVB was not particularly badly invested. T-bills and mbs’s, fairly conservative positions. The hot QE–4T– followed abruptly by 7 successive rate hikes, along with the US’s foolish trade war on China, esp. in the tech industry is to blame. Also to blame is the fact that the CEO of SVB lobbied successfully to have stress tests and breakwaters removed from the banking industry–this is part of the systemic corruption of the US political system.
