Summary
JPMorgan Chase's takeover of First Republic Bank marks the end of the panic phase of the banking crisis, but experts predict tighter credit conditions ahead that could weigh on spending. The week ahead includes a key decision on interest rates, earnings from Apple, and a jobs report expected to show further deceleration in hiring. The Federal Reserve meeting will be closely watched for its impact on the banking industry and consumer spending. While the resolution of First Republic provides some clarity to the question of regional bank health, experts predict that there will be hundreds of smaller and mid-sized US banks that will act more conservatively in the months ahead to minimize any risk of ending up in the same situation. The market is trying to discern which direction the economy is going and whether a recession is imminent.
