JPMorgan stock: cash-sweep lawsuit and holiday pause set up Tuesday’s trade

JPMorgan stock: cash-sweep lawsuit and holiday pause set up Tuesday’s trade

JPMorgan Chase & Co shares are set for Tuesday’s open after a Manhattan judge cleared the way for customers to press on with breach-of-contract claims tied to the bank’s cash sweep programs, which shift idle brokerage and retirement balances into interest-bearing accounts. Plaintiffs argue those sweeps paid just 0.01% to 0.03% in interest, even as short-term rates shot past 5%. JPMorgan pushed back, calling the lawsuit an attempt by customers to “seeking a windfall.” Other banks including Wells Fargo and U.S. Bancorp have faced similar sweep-related lawsuits.

Oil price today: Brent, WTI edge up as U.S.-Iran Geneva talks and OPEC+ supply loom

Oil ticked up on Monday, recovering a bit after last week’s declines, as traders looked ahead to Tuesday’s second round of U.S.-Iran nuclear talks in Geneva and kept an eye on supply signals from OPEC+. Brent crude rose 41 cents, or 0.6%, reaching $68.16 a barrel by 1508 GMT. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude moved up 43 cents to $63.32, though there was no settlement because of the U.S. Presidents’ Day holiday, and activity was muted with parts of Asia closed for Lunar New Year. SEB analysts noted, “Increased Iranian tension could drive Brent to $80 a barrel. Fading tension would drop it back to $60 a barrel.”

Mortgage rates today tick lower as U.S. markets shut; homebuilder stock prices in focus ahead of Fed minutes

U.S. mortgage rates edged lower on Monday, with Bankrate’s national survey putting the average 30-year fixed rate at 6.13%, down 10 basis points from a week earlier; the 15-year fixed was 5.51% and the average 30-year refinance rate was 6.50%. Mortgage Bankers Association President Bob Broeksmit said applications were “essentially flat” last week, with borrowers leaning more on FHA loans — a government-backed option — and adjustable-rate mortgages, which reset after an initial period. U.S. stock markets were closed for the Presidents Day holiday, with trading set to resume on Tuesday.
