StockCall.com Provides Stock Research on JPMorgan Chase & Co., KeyCorp, SunTrust Banks Inc., Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc., and First Republic Bank
New York City, New York -- (May 20, 2013)
The Federal Reserve has kept interest rates at record low levels for nearly four years now. While record low interest rates have boosted lending activity, banks have been facing significant margin pressure. Meanwhile, U.S. banks have been also focusing on strengthening their balance sheets. Several banks have offloaded non-core assets, which has helped in boosting capital ratios. Bank’s stocks edged higher in trading on Friday, tracking gains in the broad market. Among the major movers were JP Morgan Chase & Co. Inc. (NYSE: JPM), KeyCorp (NYSE: KEY), SunTrust Banks Inc. (NYSE: STI), Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc. (NYSE: MTU), and First Republic Bank (NYSE: FRC). StockCall has posted free technical research reports on JPM, KEY, STI, MTU, and FRC and these can be accessed by signing up at
