Shares of First Republic Bank rose 5% on Thursday as they drew the attention of bargain-hunting retail investors, but still hovered near record-low levels on lingering fears about the future of the U.S. regional lender.
First Republic's shares have lost nearly 90% of their value this month, the worst performing stock among the members of S&P 1500 regional banks indexdashed all hopes
that U.S. regulators would insure all consumer deposits through the end of the banking crisis, sending First Republic's stock down 15% on the day. After the rapid rise in interest rates led to a crisis in the U.S. and European financial sector, the Federal Reserve on Wednesday indicated it was on the verge of pausing further increases in borrowing costs.
"While the situation remains highly uncertain, our assessment is that these stresses should subside through the spring," said Citi Research economist Nathan Sheets in a note on Wednesday. "Over the next few months, pressures on U.S. midsize banks may occasionally flare up, and some additional institutions may require interventions from the Fed and other regulators."
