Both banks report on 19 July for the quarter ended 30 June. The pair is trading just below two standard deviations from its one-year historical average—too low to enter a new position, too high to exit an existing one. Monitor the pair, as earnings could drive divergence. Consider trimming existing positions for risk management; new opportunities may arise if the ratio dislocates further.
