The banking sector saw a significant boost this morning following the news of Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election.

Major financial institutions, including JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, and Citigroup, are expected to benefit from potential deregulation during Trump’s second term.

Brendan Pedersen, a financial services reporter at Punchbowl News, explained that the shift indicates the Biden administration’s financial services agenda is effectively over.

He noted that the banking industry had already managed to stall key Biden-era regulations through legal challenges, and with the Trump administration’s regulatory approach, these obstacles are likely to be reversed.

Pedersen also highlighted that Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) is poised to become the next chair of the Senate Banking Committee, marking a major shift in the committee's leadership.

Under Scott’s potential leadership, there will likely be a notable change in tone compared to the current leadership of Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH).
