Shares of a number of midsize lenders fell sharply Tuesday following the collapse of First Republic Bank, a sign that investors are still worried about the industry’s health in a world of higher interest rates. 

Banks that took a hit following the March collapse of Silicon Valley Bank fell the most. Los Angeles-based PacWest dropped 28%, while Phoenix-based Western Alliance fell 15%. Metropolitan Bank, based in New York, declined 20%.
