" There's a gathering fear that central banks may have overdone it with interest rate increases, having left them too low for too long, " He Said .
Central banks slashed interest rates during the 2008 global financial crisis and again when the pandemic hit in 2020 as part of efforts to encourage Economic Growth .
But over The Past year or so banks have been raising rates sharply to try to tame soaring price increases.
These rate rises have hit the value of investments that banks keep some of their money in. This has unnerved investors, triggering share price falls across the sector.
Higher interest rates have also raised the possibility of recession, Mr Mould said, and if that happens, " banks will generally find it pretty hard going".

He declined to comment on Deutsche Bank , but said market turmoil was to be expected after The Failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank in the US and the Ubs takeover of Credit Suisse .

But signs of strain have kept investors On Edge .
Use of an emergency lending programme for banks that the US Central Bank created this month has increased over The Past week, the Federal Reserve reported.
Bloomberg News also reported that Ubs and Credit Suisse were being investigated by the US Department of Justice into whether they had helped Russian oligarchs avoid sanctions.
With the economic outlook uncertain and investor confidence fragile, there is increasing risk that panic will spread, analysts from Moody's Investor Service said in a report on Thursday.
" The longer that financial conditions remain tight, the greater The Risk that stresses spread beyond the banking sector, unleashing greater financial and economic damage than we anticipated, " they wrote.
