That same day, Bloomberg reported that [m]uch of the leverage used by [Archegos] was provided by banks including Nomura Holdings Inc. and Credit Suisse Group AG through swaps and so-called contracts for difference[.]

On this news, Credit Suisses stock price fell $1.48 per share, or 11.5%, to close at $11.39 per share on March 29, 2021.
