Valley National misses Q2 earnings estimates on higher expenses, while higher NII and non-interest income, and lower provisions offer support.

The Fed's recent hawkish pivot sharply increased interest rates, negatively impacting most income sectors. CMT preferreds emerge as a compelling sub-sector, offering potential protection against rising long-term rates. Screening CMT preferreds by reset yield and yield-to-call can help identify attractive opportunities.
