The iShares D J Financial Sector E.T.F.

This uptick may reflect broader trends in the economy, suggesting that financial institutions are repositioning themselves for future challenges and market dynamics.

He likes the financials. US financials, for the most part, are domestic companies. Because of that, they will be one of the big beneficiaries of a lower tax rate. The 2nd thing which will boost their value is deregulation. The tax rate is going to be particularly beneficial to regional banks, and this ETF will benefit from that. A 3rd driver that could come to pass is if we get to see a higher, longer-term interest rate. He is looking for 2 or 3 Fed hikes next year.
US Bank ETF or would an individual bank be better? You are better off to buy a diversified portfolio through an ETF. It gets rid of the risk of a single stock blowing up on you. He would suggest iShares US Financials (IYF-N) which are financials, not just banks. Another is iShares Dow Jones Regional Bank ETF (IAT-N). Or you could look at BMO Equal Weight US Banks Hedged to Cad (ZUB-T). He likes ZUB-T and is the way he would play this.
