Australia’s four major banks have enjoyed double-digit rises in their share prices since Donald Trump won the US presidential election. Their combined market capitalisation has risen by $A65bn in the last two months, prompting analysts to question whether the rally will continue. Jarrod Martin of Credit Suisse notes that shares in the "big four" are now close to fair value, although the firm is upbeat about the outlook for the banks. It anticipates earnings growth of four per cent and has upgraded its share price targets.
