The banking crisis in March 2023 affected even the best bank stocks as higher interest rates put pressure on liquidity. With interest rates at 5% compared with March’s 4.75%, risks remain due to tighter lending standards and potentially higher yields.  Despite the Federal Reserve introducing a backstop mechanism after SVB Financial’s (OTCMKTS:SIVBQ) collapse, higher yields
