Longtime investor Bill Gross said Thursday that regional banks are poised to bounce back with the tailwind of falling interest rates.
"Regional banks … benefit from lower interest rates," Gross said on CNBC's " Last Call ."
Many of these banks including Bank of America, including Schwab, have long-term bond positions … a 2% or 3% rise in prices is beneficial for them."
Gross also noted that regional bank shares are now very cheap, and many of them offer hefty dividends.
The SPDR S & P Regional Banking ETF (KRE) , which tracks 140 regional banks, has fallen about 28% this year.
