Shares of banking companies are trading higher amid overall market strength following Fed Chair Powell's comments about the economy and future rate cuts.

U.S. regional banks are experiencing sessions of significant gains, as growing expectations for interest rate cuts fueled an investor rotation from large-cap<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/07/39797464/small-caps-are-having-a-moment-russell-2000-notches-best-5-day-rally-in-over-4-year"> to small-cap stocks.</a>
The SPDR S&amp;P Regional Banking ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRE#NYSE">KRE</a>) — a widely followed gauge for the industry — rallied as much as 4.5% on Tuesday, marking the strongest session since December 2023.
Notably, the recent five-day rally of nearly 15% was the strongest for regional banks since November 2020.
With Tuesday&#8217;s move, regional banks have effectively recouped all losses suffered after March 9, 2023, characterized by the failure of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank.
&#8220;Lending conditions for commercial and industrial loans have eased substantially since last year's regional bank crisis. The net percentage of lenders reporting tightening lending standards has declined from the peak of 50% at the end of 2023 to 20% today for both small and large firms,&#8221; Goldman Sachs wrote in a recent note on regional banks.

Earnings Scheduled For April 22, 2024

An inflation surprise greeted investors on Wednesday, sparking significant apprehension about the future of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates">interest rates</a>.
The discussion regarding Fed rate cuts seems to be postponed for the time being following a surge in the inflation rate to 3.5% in March 2024, surpassing estimates <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/24/04/38181302/inflation-rises-more-than-expected-to-3-5-in-march-derails-june-rate-cut-hopes">of a 3.4% increase. </a>
What&#8217;s even more concerning is that core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, remained steady at 3.8%, defying expectations of a decline to 3.7%.
Many economists cautioned Wednesday there is no chance the Fed will reduce interest rates in June, with the likelihood of higher-for-longer <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/04/38186082/this-puts-the-fed-in-quite-a-tricky-position-7-economists-weigh-in-on-march-inflati">interest rates gaining pace. </a>
Money markets are pricing in a 44-basis-point reduction in rates by year-end, with September being considered the most probable option for the onset of the easing cycle. Yet there are increasing risks that September could represent the sole reduction in 2024. 
By midday trading in New York, all major indices were in the red, with small caps underperforming large caps. Sector-wise, real estate stocks were the hardest hit, given their heightened sensitivity to interest rates. 
Yields on two-year Treasurys spiked by 20 basis points to 4.95%, registering the widest one-day increase in more than a year. Bonds collapsed, with the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) sinking 1.6%. 
The greenback served as a safe haven, with the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY), as measured by the Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUP#NYSE">UUP</a>), rising by 1.1%. This marked its strongest session since the Silicon Valley Bank failure in March 2023.
Gold experienced a decline of 0.6%, while Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) only eased by 0.2%, with both assets displaying some resilience despite the widespread market volatility.

Stocks Sink On Worrisome Inflation Data, Yields Spike On Rate Cut Delays, Dollar Rallies: What's Driving Markets Wednesday?

A fresh unexpected surge in inflation blindsided markets, shattering hopes for imminent Fed rate cuts and sending stocks down across the board. In March 2024, the annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation rate surged to 3.5%, up from February&#8217;s 3.2%, surpassing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/24/04/38181302/inflation-rises-more-than-expected-to-3-5-in-march-derails-june-rate-cut-hopes">expectations set at 3.4%. </a>
Adding to concerns, core inflation, which excludes energy and food, also exceeded expectations, reaching 3.8% compared to the anticipated 3.7%, dismissing any justifications solely attributed to higher gasoline price pressures. 
Consequently, investors sharply revised down their expectations for Fed rate cuts, now anticipating the commencement of any easing policy no earlier than September, with less than two rate cuts expected by year-end.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What&#8217;s Hot/Cold In The CPI Basket?</h3>
Expenditure categories witnessing the highest month-over-month seasonally adjusted price increase in March were: 
<ul>
<li>Motor vehicle insurance: +2.6%</li>
<li>Motor vehicle maintenance and repair: +1.7%</li>
<li>Gasoline (all types): +1.7%</li>
<li>Hospital services: +1%</li>
<li>Meats, poultry, fish, and eggs: +0.9%</li>
</ul>
Those showing the lowest monthly inflation were: 
<ul>
<li>Fuel oil: down 1.3%</li>
<li>Used cars and trucks: down 1.1%</li>
<li>Cereals and bakery products: down 0.9%</li>
<li>Other food at home: down 0.5%</li>
<li>Airline fares: down 0.4%</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Wednesday&#8217;s Sector Performance </h3>
By midday trading in New York, losses were broad-based within indices. 
<ul>
<li>454 out of S&amp;P 500 stocks traded in the red</li>
<li>93 Nasdaq 100 stocks were negative</li>
<li>1,783 out of Russell 2000 stocks were negative</li>
<li>898 out of Russell 1000 stocks were negative</li>
</ul>
No sectors managed to evade daily losses, with rate-sensitive pockets of the markets, such as real estate, feeling the brunt more acutely than others.
Energy managed to hold almost steady, as rising gasoline prices improved the outlook for oil companies.

Real Estate, Regional Bank Stocks Tank, Energy Cushions The Blow: March Inflation Rates Shake Up Sectors

HBAN

Shares of companies in the broader financial sector are trading lower amid overall market weakness following hotter-than-expected March inflation data.

Bad loans in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/commercial-real-estate">the commercial real estate</a> (CRE) industry have begun to exceed the loss reserves set aside by institutions such as JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), Wells Fargo &amp; Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>), Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>), Goldman Sachs Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>), and Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>). 
The findings, revealed by the Financial Times <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/4114454c-a924-4929-85f4-5360b2b871c6">on</a> Tuesday, are based on data from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Loss Reserves Now Barely Cover Troubled CRE Loans</h3>
Historically, banks have maintained reserves to cover potential losses on loans that go bad. However, the past year has seen a stark deterioration in these safety nets. 
The average reserves for the aforementioned banks have decreased from $1.60 to just 90 cents for every dollar of commercial real estate debt that is at least 30 days late. This decline in reserves comes at a time when delinquent debt for these six large banks has nearly tripled, reaching $9.3 billion.
The ratio of loss reserves to delinquent loans has dropped below 1 for Bank of America, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo, and Morgan Stanley. In contrast, JPMorgan has also decreased its ratio but still maintains it well above 1, according to the data.

Michael Barr, responsible for bank supervision at the US Federal Reserve, emphasized the heightened attention regulators are paying to banks&#8217; CRE lending practices. 
The focus is on how risks are reported internally, the appropriateness of provisions for potential losses, and whether banks hold sufficient capital to withstand future CRE loan losses. 
This scrutiny comes against the backdrop of the wider banking sector witnessing a more than doubling in the value of delinquent loans tied to commercial properties, escalating to $24.3 billion from $11.2 billion the previous year.
While some banks assert their preparedness to CRE turmoil, pointing to previously higher-than-necessary reserves, others in the industry, including Richard Barkham of CBRE Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CBRE#NYSE">CBRE</a>), warn against reducing provisions at this juncture. As the FT notes, Barkham estimates that banks could face up to $60 billion in losses from soured commercial real estate loans over the next five years, a figure significantly higher than the current reserves.
Market Impact: The Financials SPDR Select Sector Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLF#NYSE">XLF</a>) experienced a slight drop of 0.3%, while the SPDR S&amp;P 500 Regional Banking ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRE#NYSE">KRE</a>) decreased by 0.7%. New York Community Bancorp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NYCB#NASDAQ">NYCB</a>) shares took a significant hit, dropping nearly 4% and emerging as the most adversely affected among bank stocks on Monday. Additionally, ServisFirst Bancshares Inc.

Banking Giants Confront Rising Delinquencies In Commercial Real Estate Sector

More than a dozen banks in the U.S. find themselves under the keen eye of financial watchdogs due to their sizable portfolios of commercial <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/commercial-real-estate">real estate (CRE) loans.</a>
The Federal Reserve, Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency jointly indicated their intent to scrutinize banks with CRE loan portfolios exceeding triple their capital and with growth that has exceeded 50% over the past three years. 
New York Community Bancorp, Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NYCB#NYSE">NYCB</a>) is not among institutions deserving increasing scrutiny. Despite having a CRE loan to total capital ratio of 462% — surpassing the regulatory concern threshold of 300% — NYCB&#8217;s portfolio growth of 25% over the past five years keeps it below the critical 50% growth threshold that watchdogs find alarming. 
This distinction is particularly noteworthy in light of NYCB&#8217;s recent underperformance and increased investor scrutiny following a lackluster earnings report earlier this month.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Regional Banks Under the Microscope </h3>
A Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-02-15/which-banks-may-face-scrutiny-of-commercial-real-estate-exposure?srnd=premium&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">analysis</a> of federal data spanning over 350 bank holding companies highlighted that numerous smaller lenders have attracted increased regulatory scrutiny. This is because they&#8217;ve rapidly built up significantly large concentrations in their CRE portfolios in recent years.
Valley National Bancorp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VLY#NASDAQ">VLY</a>) is identified as the largest institution that fits the criteria for heightened regulatory examination, with a staggering 80% growth in CRE loans over the past three years and an exposure that constitutes 471% of its total capital. 
Alongside Valley National, other banks such as HomeStreet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HMST#NASDAQ">HMST</a>), First Foundation Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FFWM#NASDAQ">FFWM</a>), Dime Community Bancshares Inc.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EBTC#NASDAQ">EBTC</a>) are slated for closer inspection by regulators.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Reactions</h3>
Despite the regulatory cloud hanging over these institutions, the broader regional bank industry, as monitored by the SPDR S&amp;P Regional Banking ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRE#NYSE">KRE</a>), witnessed a 2.4% uptick on Thursday. 
This surge is attributed to a confluence of factors, including some positive news derived from the latest 13F filings and the market anticipation of Federal Reserve rate cuts prompted by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/02/37156844/retail-sales-sink-in-january-manufacturing-indicators-improve-jobless-claims-fall-thursdays-econ">disappointing retail sales data.</a>
A couple of renowned fund managers added exposure to New York Community Bancorp in the fourth quarter of 2023. Notable among them is Soros Fund Management, which escalated its stake to 1,476,180 shares, valued at $15 million by the quarter&#8217;s end. Similarly, AQR Capital Management and Millennium Management substantially increased their holdings in New York Community Bancorp.
