The share price of banks is not catching up with bond yields

Share prices of banks, which track the bond yield closely most of the time, are not catching up since March 2022, suggesting that fears are starting to grow in the banking industry.
A fall in loan demand and the potential for defaults from borrowers would be bad news for bank earnings.
Some investors seem to be warming to the idea that bond yields have peaked in the US, removing a catalyst for bank stocks to close the gap.
