NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 15:02 ET — Regular session Bank of America Corporation shares were down about 0.3% in afternoon trading on Wednesday as year-end funding-market flows and rate expectations set the tone for U.S. financial stocks.

Tariffs near 17% as 2025 ends — BofA CEO Moynihan sees easing to 15% in 2026

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 07:31 ET The average effective U.S. tariff rate has climbed to almost 17% as 2025 closes, up from around 2.5% a year ago, a level not seen since 1935. Reuters That matters for consumers and companies heading into 2026 because tariffs function as import taxes, raising costs that can feed through to prices and squeeze margins.
