                      | Happy Monday! I'm Elisabeth Buchwald and boy is it nice to have a break from March Madness games. And yes, in case you're wondering, my bracket is completely busted so I'm basically just rooting for the underdogs who are left (go tigers!).  | 
                                                                              | Anyway, there's another bout of March Madness going on that doesn't involve basketball and unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be taking any breaks.  | 
                                                                              | Over the weekend, UBS took over Swiss banking giant Credit Suisse for $3.2 billion to quell financial markets that have been rattled by the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. | 
                                                                              | This came after the Swiss government loaned around $54 billion to Credit Suisse last week to shore up liquidity. Over the weekend the Swiss government pledged an additional $9 billion "in order to reduce any risks for UBS"  and "potential losses arising from certain assets that UBS takes over as part of the transaction." | 
                                                                              | What's the next SVB? | 
                                                                              | After Signature Bank and SVB, many people are wondering which bank could be the next to fail.  | 
                                                                              | A recent study found that close to 190 banks could find themselves in a similar fate to SVB and Signature if only half of their depositors decide to withdraw their funds. | 
                                                                              |                                                                                                       |   |                                        | A pedestrian passes a Silicon Valley Bank branch in San Francisco. |                                        | Jeff Chiu, AP |  | 
                                                                              | Part of the reason why is the Federal Reserve's rate hikes which have eroded the value of bank assets such as government bonds and mortgage-backed securities. That means that banks have fewer assets to back depositors' money should they want to withdraw it. | 
                                                                              | A run on these banks could pose potential risk to even insured depositors — those with $250,000 or less in the bank — as the FDIC's deposit insurance fund starts incurring losses, according to the economists who authored the study.  |
