Fluctuating markets reveal vulnerabilities for an institution's balance sheet and resiliency. If the stock price plunges, it's a reflection of a bank's equity. Suddenly, you go from over capitalized to under capitalized, resulting in the need to increase equity, sell or close.
Your institution needs to anticipate the risk of being unable to fund your portfolio of assets, at appropriate maturities and rates, or the inability to liquidate a position in a timely manner, at reasonable rates. If your level of capital sinks to become adequately capitalized or under capitalized, you lose access to crucial money sources.
