Stocks fall worldwide on U.S. recession, banking and debt-ceiling risks

Equities dropped in the U.S., Asia and Europe on Tuesday as a combination of recession, banking, and debt-ceiling risks facing the world’s largest economy came together and dented the appetite for risk-taking. The decidedly risk-off sentiment began in Asian markets outside of Japan after California’s First Republic Bank reported a disappointing 41% first-quarter drop in deposits in an announcement released late Monday, reigniting worries about the U.S. banking system.

Within the S&P 500 index, energy, materials, industrials, and information technology companies were getting pummeled harder than the financial sector through afternoon trading.

That would be earlier than expected — which could lead to an “extreme” outcome because “you could have a government shutdown or financial turmoil if the government selectively defaults on its debt, which is unprecedented.

In the Treasury market on Tuesday, investors added the 1-month T-bill TMUBMUSD01M to the bucket of very short-dated maturities they are avoiding because of the potential fallout from a debt-ceiling fight. They sold off 1-month bills aggressively, sending the corresponding yield soaring to around 3.68% in the afternoon.
