最新报道:According to a report from Bijie.com, the U.S. bank stock index is on track for its first record close since January 2022 as investors speculate a possible Federal Reserve interest rate cut next month. The KBW Bank Index, which tracks the 24 largest U.S. banks, rose 3% at one point, putting it on track for a record close. This would end a slump of over 900 trading days, the longest since the financial crisis, when the index failed to reach a new high for over 3,500 trading days. Bank stocks joined a broader market rebound on Friday as Powell cautiously opened the door to a September rate cut. Overall, major Wall Street banks reported solid second-quarter earnings, fueled by volatility in the stock, bond, and foreign exchange markets. All banks that underwent the Federal Reserve's annual stress test passed with flying colors, allowing them to raise dividends to levels exceeding market expectations. The rise in bank stocks this year has also been driven by expectations that a more moderate regulatory environment under the Trump administration will spur corporate mergers and acquisitions, boosting investment banking revenue.
