One hedge fund manager described trades in the financial sector as being "all over the map", with nobody agreeing on anything.
Some breathed a sigh of relief that a competitor stepped in with a rescue offer for Credit Suisse.
Others worried that the $3.2 billion UBS will pay is far less than the $9.5 billion Credit Suisse was valued at on Friday, and one investor said the market may not consider this to be a positive.
loadingLater, short seller Jim Chanos tweeted his shock that $17 billion of Credit Suisse bonds would be wiped out, asking "What are the Swiss doing here…?!"
There was also little agreement on how investors would be positioning themselves in smaller U.S. banks, including First Republic.
