Quick Glance: What is causing bank failures? SVB and Signature Bank failures explained
  • Over the next 48 hours, there was a surge in customer withdrawals from the bank, which then attempted to raise emergency capital on the equity markets, which investors rejected.

  • It, too, would crumble.

  • "SVB's collapse was caused by a liquidity crisis when many of its larger depositors wanted to take money out at the same time." Haine explained.

  • "The issue at the heart of this was caused by massive losses on SVB's bond investments in the face of rising US interest rates, and a fire sale of these as its clients – typically technology start-up entrepreneurs and venture capital investors – began pulling money out."

Quick Glance: Johnson required masks in schools during Covid to avoid a "argument" with Sturgeon, according to leaks
  • According to leaked messages, the UK government decided to make English schoolchildren to wear masks during the Covid-19 outbreak in order to avoid a "argument" with Nicola Sturgeon.

  • Also, why do we want to battle about the use of masks in certain school settings?"

  • "I think some nervous parents will freak out about this happening in Scotland, but not in England," Cabinet Secretary Simon Case said, adding that unless scientific experts were willing to go public with an advice contradicting Scotland by recommending against masks in schools, "I think some nervous parents will freak out about this happening in Scotland, but not in England."

  • So agree that a dispute isn't worth it."
