cañón bancario

Declined
New York's Wall Street is sometimes called a canyon. Wall Street, where buildings rise up on both sides of the street, making an urban "canyon of dreams". Wall Street, where the American Dream can be realized or, just as easily, can be washed away with the rain.

barranco financiero

other synonyms, like cañón and garganta can be misinterpreted, whereas barranco bancario somehow doesn't sound very good, hence my suggestion

neutral Susana Galilea : aunque por el barranco también te puedes despeñar, así que también se presta a malinterpretaciones :-)
