Shares of U.S. regional banks rebounded early in the week of May 15 as investors shifted their focus from the prevailing crisis of confidence, which had precipitated the downfall of three banks in two months, to the pressing matter of the U.S. debt ceiling debate.
During the week, PacWest Bancorp (PACW.O) witnessed a substantial surge of 25.93% but remained down 74.76% year-to-date. Similarly, Western Alliance Bancorp (WAL.N) experienced a notable leap of 24.94% but was still down 41.33% year-to-date. Comerica Inc (CMA.N) recorded a gain of 19.92%. KeyCorp (KEY.N) added 9.23% while Fifth Third Bancorp (FITB.O) climbed by 6.27%. The KBW Regional Banking Index (.KRX) rose 6.19% bringing its year-to-date performance to a loss of 27.34%. The S&P Financials sector rose 2.18% but it still suffered a 5.02% decline for the year.
Global ETF Survey 2026 is Live!
With 1,790 new products launched by July 2026, choosing is harder than ever. Our Global ETF Survey 2026, built on 620 professional investors and allocators, shows how active, fixed income, options-based and thematic ETFs are reshaping fund selection.
Despite this rebound, concerns continue to linger within the banking sector, as evidenced by recent data revealing an ongoing decline in U.S. commercial bank deposits, coupled with a downturn in lending activity as companies encounter greater difficulty in securing loans. These prevailing circumstances point towards an inevitable reduction in spending. The imposition of stricter lending standards is expected to curb economic growth in the wake of the Federal Reserve’s tight monetary policy.
