Shares of major U.S. financial stocks, as represented by the Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:XLF), surged to record highs, in the wake of the March Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting. This rally was fueled by anticipations of stronger economic growth and a reduction in borrowing costs, potentially boosting loan demands for U.S. banks. Equity analyst Ebrahim H. Poonawala from Bank of America highlighted the market’s optimistic outlook in a note on Thursday, noting the Fed’s projection of three 25 basis point rate cuts in 2024 and its “fairly soon” reference to the commencement of the quantitative tightening (QT) taper represent bullish signals for bank stocks. Following the FOMC’s latest meeting and comments by Fed Chair Jerome Powell, regional bank stocks, as indicated by the SPDR Regional Banking ETF (NYSE:KRE), witnessed a sharp increase of over 4%, and surged by a further 3% on Thursday’s morning trading.
