Why it matters
Analysts state that a higher-for-longer rate environment increases the risk of slower economic growth and higher loan losses for banks. The sector is also facing concerns regarding how artificial intelligence technology might disrupt financial services. Sustained weakness in bank stocks could be a troubling sign for the broader economy.
