Shares of First Republic Bank remain in a death spiral amid reports of uncertainty about whether the lender could see a rescue deal.
First Republic's stock tumbled as much as 50% in midday trading. The bank’s share value has already plummeted roughly 96% year to date and just more than 70% the last month amid federal discussions with banks and even private equity groups over a rescue solution for the distressed lender.

The Federal released its assessment Friday morning of what led to Silicon Valley Bank’s collapse, saying the lender's failure was due to a "textbook case of mismanagement" and calling for greater supervision by regulators.
