US Regional Banks Set To Erase All Losses Post SVB Fallout: Can They Maintain Momentum In 2024?
Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
U.S. regional bank stocks have rebounded strongly, with the SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF (KRE) surging 35% in two months. This rally is driven by the Federal Reserve's shift towards a more accommodative monetary policy, which is expected to lower interest rates in 2024. Ten regional banks within the KRE ETF have seen returns over 40% in the last three months. The economic outlook for 2024 suggests moderate growth and a decrease in inflation, which could benefit regional banks if these conditions persist.
