On July 30, Citigroup rose 3.22% in regular trading, trading at 131.11 USD/share, with turnover of $3.14 billion, leading the Diversified Banks sector.

On the news front, the Federal Reserve announced on July 29 that it would maintain interest rates unchanged, prompting a technical rebound in the banking sector following the previous session's broad selloff. Citigroup had declined 3.03% on July 29, underperforming peers including JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo. The recovery was further supported by Goldman Sachs raising its price target on Citigroup to $161 from $155 while maintaining a Buy rating. Citigroup economists maintained their call for rate cuts later this year, predicting rising unemployment will push the Fed to begin cutting in October, December, and January.

Additionally, Citigroup recently announced a 12% dividend increase to $0.67 per share and a $30 billion share buyback program, reinforcing shareholder return commitments following its strongest quarterly revenue in a decade during Q2.
