The S&P/ASX 200 Banks Index has gained nearly 15 per cent since late December, following a sell-off in the wake of the misconduct exposed by the Hayne royal commission. Tony Brennan of Citigroup says bank stocks still represent a buying opportunity for investors, even though the sector continues to face headwinds. Meanwhile, JP Morgan notes that banks’ revenue may come under pressure if the cash rate is reduced more than once in coming months.
