Wall Street scores political victory with a Trump win: 'This should aid all banks'

Donald Trump's victory in the recent election is seen as a positive shift for U.S. bank stocks, with analysts forecasting a more favorable environment for large financial institutions due to expected deregulation. Major banks like JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, and others have all experienced sharp increases in their stock prices in pre-market trading. Analysts believe this could mark the beginning of a more profitable era for banks, potentially allowing for increased lending and easing of regulatory constraints that were imposed after the financial crisis. However, concerns remain about the sustainability of such growth and potential long-term risks relating to deficits and economic cycles.
