US Financial Stocks Plunge Amid Private Credit Fears and Geopolitical Risks
March 14, 2026, 12:19 PM EDT. US financial stocks are enduring their worst start since the COVID-19 pandemic, with the S&P 500 Financials Index down 11% in 2024, marking its steepest quarterly drop since early 2020. Major declines include Ares Management and Blackstone, both off over 30%, and Wells Fargo, down 20%. Concerns over private credit, AI-driven disruptions in indebted tech firms, and inflationary pressures from the Iran war and rising oil prices stoke fears. Market strategist Bill Katz cites a negative feedback loop involving these risks, complicating entry points for investors. Bank of America's strategists highlight a 'perfect storm' fueled by a weakening job market and inflation, while some banking leaders caution comparisons to pre-2008 crisis conditions despite current economic resilience.
