The ECB last month raised rates to a record 4 per cent in a bid to bring down inflation.<\/p>\n<p>Barclays analyst Paola Sabbione said she expected Italian banks to report a jump in net interest income for the third quarter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the third-quarter picture we have in mind for the Italian banks, suggesting capital will continue to build up, paving the way to distribution surprises in the fourth quarter,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>UniCredit, Italy\u2019s second-biggest bank, reports results on Thursday. Intesa Sanpaolo, the country\u2019s largest lender, releases earnings on November 3. Spanish banks, including Santander, which reports on Wednesday, are also expected to show further gains in net interest income.<\/p>\n<p>According to analysis by rating agency S&amp;P, Spanish and Italian lenders have also passed on a smaller portion of the benefits of higher rates \u2014 known as deposit beta \u2014 to depositors than other banks, including those in the UK.<\/p>\n<p>The tailwind enjoyed by European banks has helped send the Stoxx Europe 600 Banks index up 11 per cent this year, outpacing the 3 per cent gain in the broader Europe Stoxx 600. <\/p>\n<p>But with most economists predicting that last month\u2019s increase by the ECB will prove its last, European bank executives are likely to be pressed by investors and analysts on how they will drive profits over the longer term.<\/p>\n<p>Andrew Coombs, analyst at Citi, expects any \u201cmoderate decline in net interest margins\u201d, to be manageable because he expects loan losses for the banks to be limited.<\/p>\n<p>UK banks were among the first to benefit from rising interest rates, given the Bank of England began tightening monetary policy in December 2021, more than six months earlier than the ECB. <\/p>\n<p>But with investors now betting that UK interest rates have peaked and the mortgage market struggling, analysts expect the country\u2019s biggest banks to have endured a more difficult third quarter. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cQ3 could be a tough quarter [for UK banks], with deposit migration, spread compression and low mortgage volumes persisting,\u201d said RBC analyst Benjamin Toms. <\/p>\n<p>In contrast to European lenders, shares in UK banks have struggled this year. Shares in Barclays, which reports on Tuesday, are down 9 per cent, while Lloyds Banking Group stock has fallen 8 per cent. Lloyds reports results on Wednesday. Shares in state-backed NatWest, which reports earnings on Friday, have declined 18 per cent this year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/402ea873-598e-46dd-a7b6-27c01603bf29\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stay informed with free updates Simply sign up to the European banks myFT Digest &#8212; delivered directly to your inbox.
