Sheila Bair, who ran the FDIC during the financial crisis, is nervous about a handful of regional banks going into earnings.

Regional bank earnings may expose critical weaknesses, according to Sheila Bair, former chair of the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corp." on Tuesday."I think some of them are still overly reliant on industry deposits, have a lot of concentrated commercial real estate exposure, and then I think the larger picture really is the potential instability of their uninsured deposits even for the healthy ones if we have another bank failure.

"So, the higher the rates go for those refinancings, the more distress there will be with borrowers to be able to continue with their payments."
