📉 U.S. Banking Sector Under Pressure

The U.S. banking sector is once again under scrutiny as regional lenders face mounting losses. The KBW Regional Banking Index has entered its longest losing streak of the year, signaling renewed investor anxiety.

Smaller banks have dropped 6–10%, while major financial institutions remain relatively stable — though concerns are rising over credit stress linked to $1.2 trillion in exposure to non-bank financial institutions and growing commercial real estate (CRE) loan losses.

Analysts warn that continued pressure in regional banking could ripple through broader credit markets, testing the system’s resilience once again.
