Watching regional banks after latest rate hike signals

The Fed's latest signals, especially around the potential for another hike later this year, have me closely watching the regional bank sector. While the big players often have more diversified revenue streams, the smaller regionals are particularly sensitive to interest rate movements and the overall economic sentiment.

My current watchlist includes names like $Y, which seems to be holding steady around the $847.79 mark today. I'm less concerned with intraday noise and more with the broader trend here. The question is how much more tightening the system can absorb before we see some real cracks, particularly in commercial real estate portfolios, which many regional banks are heavily exposed to. Not looking to rush into anything, but the risk/reward here could shift quite quickly depending on incoming economic data and any further Fed rhetoric.

Good point about regional banks' sensitivity. I'm curious if you're also factoring in their commercial real estate exposure, given the current office vacancy rates?
