Aussie Bank Earnings Season on Track to Be 'Uneventful' -- Market Talk

Dow Jones05-01

0010 GMT - The upcoming Australian banks' reporting season should be largely uneventful, say Macquarie analysts in a note. While the investment bank expects earnings to decline in FY 2024, consensus has already incorporated headwinds. Plus, the current macro backdrop is "arguably as favorable as it could get for the sector." At the same time, near-term margin risks for lenders is diminishing alongside delayed interest rate-cut expectations. Credit quality also remains supportive, Macquarie says, amid favorable economic drivers and a low unemployment rate. Still, it maintains an underweight call on the Aussie bank sector.
