Trading has been halted in troubled European bank Credit Suisse (CS) after its share price fell 21% to a new all-time low.
It was the second consecutive trading session in which Credit Suisse’s stock fell to new lows amid frantic selling of the security.
The latest drop in the Swiss bank’s share price came after its largest investor, Saudi National Bank, said it could not provide Credit Suisse with any more financial assistance.
Specifically, Saudi National Bank said that a 10% foreign ownership threshold prevents it from taking a bigger position in Credit Suisse.
Credit Suisse’s stock has been in freefall since the Zurich-based bank announced that it is delaying the release of its annual report after U.S. regulators raised concerns about its financial reporting processes.
Specifically, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has requested changes to Credit Suisse’s consolidated cash flow statements for the years 2020 and 2019.
Credit Suisse’s stock has declined 67% over the past 12 months to now trade at $2.51 U.S. per share in New York.
Biden Assures Americans: ‘Our Banking System Is Safe’
In a televised statement before the markets opened, the president said that deposits would still be available after the collapse of two major institutions and insisted that taxpayers would not bear the cost of any bailout.
The Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA and the Swiss National Bank have asserted that “the problems of certain banks in the USA do not pose a direct risk of contagion for the Swiss financial markets”.
In a joint statement, after a day of chaos in the financial markets, FINMA and the SNB say:
The strict capital and liquidity requirements applicable to Swiss financial institutions ensure their stability.
Credit Suisse meets the capital and liquidity requirements imposed on systemically important banks. If necessary, the SNB will provide CS with liquidity.

Another domino teetering.
This doesn't look good and at the risk of sounding like a doomer, folks should take notice and actions.
I find it interesting that the middle east has so much exposure to this bank.
Especially at a time when they are cozying up to China. But hey, that could all be coincidence....
