Regional banks to weaken against the major financial stocks


Investors should still favor big banks, despite exposure to europe
In what is to be as legitimate recovery of reserves from the banking and finance industry wide ongoing, it is worth a look, how to play the best finances, if you believe – like me – is probably from 2012, a year of recovery similar as in 2003 and 2009.
 
May seems at first glance to be “safe” to go to so-called regional banks, which are more sensitive to domestic financial growth of the United States and abroad to invest, through the influence of Europe. It seems, however, money to be made for global banks.
 
Click to enlarge See the terms of the SPDR KBW Regional Banking Index ETF (NYSE: KRE) over the choice of the Financial Sector SPDR (NYSE: XLF). The KBW consists of 71 shares of regional banks, including Regions Financial (NYSE: RF), SunTrust (NYSE: STI) and BB & T Corp. (NYSE: BBT). Remember: A report of rising prices, that the counter (KRE) is exceeded (up to plus / minus bottom) in the denominator (XLF).
 
Do you see these relationships as a way of knowing whether the investors in the financial sector prefer smaller and more sensitive to large U.S. banks, global financial institutions.
 
It was an important period of the force, which is about starting in October as a “fall melt-up,” he began, but this trend seems to be suddenly beginning of January 2012 canceled, have the largest market capitalization of efficient financial-that the regional banks.
 
The reason for this is likely to have to deal with the idea that European banks are now in fact long-term through the operation of the European Central Bank refinancing cheap money, which in turn is what investors do recapitulate to more optimism in the global financial system.
 
Knowing while that in general, the financial sector as a whole may exceed the broader market stocks at the end of the year, at least for the moment it seems that large-cap position in finance – they are more sensitive to the volatility of the last it could be that money is going to improve European data – year and the potential of entering the world market.
