morgan brennan joins us with more. hey, morgan. >> hey. blackrock's analyst says regional banks are the purest play on rising interest rates and see the relationship between the regionals and the broader financial sector in this month to date chart and looking at that spike right there, that is right around the fmoc meeting so one regional that is rebounding is suntrust. that is up about 1.5% over a month and will benefit from the housing recovery in places like florida. pnc financial up over 2% over the last month and m&t bank is up. they expect rates to increase earnings for the regionals and not subject to many of the regulatory changes that pressured the bigger universal peers but regionals do face two headwinds. pressure of new loans hurts loan yields and there's the possibility of deposit outflows as rates rise and folks start to put more of their money to work elsewhere. in light of that, here are two more regional banks that analysts like. terry mcavoi says comerica is sensitive to higher rates and morni morningstar like business m
