Banks benefited from higher interest rates, which, however, may be leaning towards a change. On the other hand, however, increased shareholder returns may provide some support for the sector. Last week, Santander said it was considering making more than €6 billion worth of dividend payments and share buybacks after an "excellent" start to 2024.

However, looking at the momentum of recent moves, the window for sizable rallies may now be shrinking. The RSI indicator for the weekly interval has broken out above the textbook overbought zone. Source: xStation
