SVB's failure was barely a month ago, and has sent chills all over the banking sector, which has started to tighten lending all around. While the current inflation trends may seem troubling, it looks like higher interest rates have started to trickle their way towards cooling inflation significantly. Of course this might not be the case, but at the very least I wouldn't expect the impact of SVB's failure to show up in any of these charts just yet. Disclaimer: Not an economist

  Right, but higher capital requirements cause decrease in lending.

  Wasnt that the primary factor? They lent their money to the government at very low interest rates. When interest rates rose, the value of those loans fell.

Economists estimate this to be equal to rough 0.3% higher interest rates.
