Big U.S. bank stocks dipped on Wednesday morning amid new concerns out of Washington D.C. regarding President Donald Trump and his administration.
Yesterday, news began to circulate, starting with a New York Times report claiming that former FBI Director James Comey compiled a memo and outlined conversations he had with Trump alleging that the president requested that Comey and the FBI stop their investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn. On top of Comey news, Trump shared potentially compromising intelligence with Russian officials last week.

Shares of the so-called big four U.S. banks all took a slight dive. Bank of America (BAC - Free Report) dropped by 4.25%, while Citigroup (C - Free Report) fell by 3.03% in morning trading. JPMorgan Chase (JPM - Free Report) and Wells Fargo (WFC - Free Report) were also down marginally.
Financial giants Goldman Sachs (GS - Free Report) and Morgan Stanley (MS - Free Report) dropped by over 4% in morning trading. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by 1% directly following the opening bell. The S&P 500 is also down nearly 1%.
Will You Make a Fortune on the Shift to Electric Cars?
Here's another stock idea to consider. Much like petroleum 150 years ago, lithium power may soon shake the world, creating millionaires and reshaping geo-politics. Soon electric vehicles (EVs) may be cheaper than gas guzzlers. Some are already reaching 265 miles on a single charge.
With battery prices plummeting and charging stations set to multiply, one company stands out as the #1 stock to buy according to Zacks research.
