Japanese term or phrase: 市場の苛立ち
This is from a magazine article title
3大メガバンク 低迷が映す市場の苛立ち

I have no other context. I'm not sure if it's the sluggishness that is being reflected or the 苛立ち。Any help would be appreciated.

Explanation:
苛立ち is used here rather in abstract sense. It is closer to あせり. Poor performance of 3 megabanks has caused minor panic in the financial market.

I was somewhat careless about my answer. It's more like "The sluggishness of the 3 megabanks are reflected in market anxiety".

Notes to answerer
Asker: I thought that 苛立ち is more like irritations. Can it be "troubles"?

market irritation/irritation of the market


Explanation:
"the market's irration reflected in sluggishness" or for the whole title: "Three main megabanks - sluggishness reflects market irritation"
I would guess that it means depressed share prices for the megabanks reflect the market's irritation (at their failure to restructure faster) or something like that.
