Yesterday: U.S. indexes fell Thursday, led by a sharp drop in bank shares after Zions and Western Alliance revealed bad loans, sparking concerns over lending practices and broader financial sector risks. The risk-off mood boosted demand for safe-haven assets, pushing gold to record highs above $4,300 per ounce. The VIX, commonly referred to as Wall Street’s fear gauge, soared more than 13% to close at a 5-month high. Treasury yields fell, with the 10-year dropping below 4% for the first time this year, the U.S. dollar weakened and oil prices continued their decline, nearing a four-year low ($57), amid ongoing demand worries.
On Our Radar: Due to the ongoing government shutdown, no significant economic reports are scheduled for release today. On the earnings front, all eyes will be on Zions (ZION), which will report earnings after the market close on Monday.

MARKET HISTORY
On This Day In 1975…
New York City came within two hours of declaring bankruptcy. Facing more than $350 million in debt, the city was on the brink of financial collapse. Efforts in Washington to assemble a federal bailout had failed, and the teachers’ union pension fund had initially declined to purchase additional city bonds. Some estimated that a default could cause as many as 100 banks to fail. A bankruptcy notice had already been drafted and signed by the mayor, with creditors gathering at government offices and teachers being told to stay home. But in a dramatic last-minute reversal, the teachers’ union stepped in, agreeing to buy the bonds and providing the emergency funding needed to save the city.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
“Courage taught me no matter how bad a crisis gets ... any sound investment will eventually pay off.“
— Carlos Slim Helú
