Stock Trends
Bang! go stocks (but especially these regional banks)
Good morning,
Markets soared yesterday, as yet another bearish headline faded from investors’ radar.
Energy (the subject of yesterday’s Overtime report) was the top-performing sector, but today I want to focus on another highly cyclical group: The regional banks.
All the way back in September, when we started seeing the “shifting winds” of rotation, regional banks were firming up in relative terms. The group got hit and underperformed during the September-October cyclical correction, but the bounceback has been swift and furious.
KRE (the SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF) surged 4.7% yesterday, hitting and closing at its highest level since early 2022.
Today, we’ll look at four stocks leading the charge recently, but most importantly why the move could still be early innings.
