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.

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.
