March 14 (Reuters) - Trading volumes on Silicon Valley Bank's bonds have surged since Thursday amid the bank's collapse that has roiled financial markets, data showed on Tuesday.
Trading volumes across the banks investment-grade and high-yield bonds rose as high as $2.9 billion on Monday, according to data from MarketAxess compiled for Reuters. This was up from just under $56 million last Wednesday, before the bank's troubles came into the spotlight.
Volumes rose to $210 million on Thursday, and $2.3 billion on Friday when the bank collapsed, the data showed. (Reporting by Yoruk Bahceli; Editing by Dhara Ranasinghe)
