Hot jobs report seals the rate hike deal — buy major bank stocks
Created
Thesis
When interest rates rise, traditional bank profits surge because they can charge more for loans while paying out relatively little extra on deposits. This morning's massive jobs number confirms a rate hike is firmly on the table. JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America stand to benefit the most from this widening profit margin, making them a strong bet as the market adjusts to this news.
Strategy approach
Build a rule-based strategy that enters long JPM on H1 when the price breaks above the upper Bollinger Band(20, 2) with an MACD bullish crossover. Exit when the price closes below the 10-day moving average or after a 5-day max hold.
