Trump Victory Could Benefit European Capital Market Banks -- Market Talk

Dow Jones11-06

0856 GMT - A Trump victory in the U.S. is a positive for European capital markets banks, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods say. Barclays, Deutsche Bank and UBS trade 4.8%, 5.2% and 4.1% higher, respectively. The election outcome is a negative for banks with exposure to countries threatened by trade tariffs, such as Spain's BBVA, whose largest market is Mexico. BBVA shares drop 3.6%. The Stoxx Europe 600 banks subindex rises 0.9%. "A win for the Trump campaign asks more difficult questions for European politicians around geopolitics, trade tariffs. The second order effects will be key for bank fundamentals and equity prices, in particular the rate outlook," analysts led by Andrew Stimpson wrote in a note ahead of the election.
