Market volatility looks here to stay: Yields are still rising, a war is raging, and it's uncertain whether interest rates will stay higher for longer. Go for bonds Though volatility in the bond market has led to losses, some fund managers are saying that it's time to get back into this asset class, given that yields are high. Money market funds typically include short-term Treasurys. Bond yields move inversely to prices — that means a peak in interest rates may signal that bond prices have bottomed. When interest rates rise, bond prices typically fall as existing bonds with lower yields become less attractive.

U.S. stocks have been red-hot, with the S & P 500 hitting its highest level in over a year. But Steven Glass, managing director and analyst at Pella Funds Management, says U.S. markets have "run too fast, too quickly." The S & P 500 is up around 15% in the year to date, while the Nasdaq has soared about 31%. Glass said the S & P 500 earnings yield is at about 5.2% — a level similar to that of one-year Treasury bonds. That would translate to a 10 times price-to-earnings ratio for the S & P 500 — but the figure is now at 19.

Swiss regulator FINMA has come under fire for allowing the situation to deteriorate as the bank spent years mired in losses and scandal. Mark Yallop, chairman of the U.K.'s Financial Markets Standards Board and former U.K. CEO at UBS, told CNBC on Tuesday that he agreed with the broad assessment that Credit Suisse's downfall was "idiosyncratic." "It's unfortunate that the problems with some of the smaller U.S. banks in the last two or three weeks happened at the same time as this issue with Credit Suisse but the two are completely different and very largely unrelated," he said. By contrast, the Swiss banking and regulatory system has come under fire.
