BB&T, SunTrust Merger Helps Prop Up Regional Bank ETFs
Regional bank stocks and sector-specific ETFs shook off the broader market weakness after BB&T (BBT) made a deal to buyout SunTrust Banks Inc. (STI) , combining the banks to form the sixth-largest U.S. retail bank. BB&T and SunTrust struck an all-stock deal in what amounts to the largest U.S. bank merger since the financial crisis, with a combined company value of $66 billion, the Wall Street Journal reports. The deal marks the first deal brokered for big U.S. banks after a tough regulatory environment following the financial crisis kept banks sitting out of the recent slew of mergers and acquisitions.

What was a surprise to some market observers was the Fed’s hawkish tone, which indicates multiple rate hikes could be in the offing in 2019.
