With impending rate hikes, we believe that the Financials sector are direct beneficiaries. Against a backdrop of global economic recovery, key banking indicators are likely to improve and value plays like Financials will outperform the broader market. Earnings upgrades should continue in this sector as the Federal Reserve is expected to deliver more rate hikes than expected. Valuations should also rise accordingly with rising bond yields.
As growth and interest rates paths vary across world regions, we take a selective approach among global banks focusing on beneficiaries of interest rate hikes and fee income growth. In particular, we favour US and Asian banks.
