Financials across the four regions
Banks, insurance, capital markets, financial services. Sensitive to rate-curve shape and credit spreads. The same sector rarely behaves the same way twice across regions — the spread between the best and worst region is the tradable information, and the table below is the current state of that spread.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Asia-Pac DM | -3.6% | -3.1% | +8.5% | +18.5% | 1631.TSE+1632.TSE (approx.) | high |
| Europe | +0.3% | +6.1% | +9.8% | +12.0% | EXV1.XETRA+EXV6.XETRA+EXH8.XETRA (approx.) | high |
| US | -1.2% | +3.0% | +11.5% | +7.4% | XLF | high |
