# "This Is Crazy": Goldman Stunned By Regional Bank Meltdown; Its Clients Demand Answers To These 3 Questions

> Goldman Sachs reported significant turmoil in regional banks, leading to heightened inquiries from clients. Traders noted that the pressure on banks like ZION, WAL, and JEF was exacerbated by credit provisioning weaknesses, marking the second worst day for the sector since the SIVB collapse in March 2023.

There were some very big moves in regional banks on Thursday, sparking Goldman's traders said were "through the roof" question levels among the bank's clients. As GS trader Mike Washignton writes in the daily market wrap note (available to pro subs), Regional Banks (ZION, WAL) and JEF were under pressure on credit provisioning weakness: it was the 2nd worst day for the group since the SIVB implosion in March 2023.
