Wall Street points higher on hopes for US debt ceiling breakthrough

Wall Street pointed toward gains before the bell on Friday, potentially setting up markets for their best week since March as optimism about a US debt ceiling deal grew heading into the weekend. Futures for the Dow Jones industrials and S and P 500 each rose 0.2 per cent in premarket trading. Hopes are high that the United States Congress would reach a deal to avoid defaulting on the nation's debt. President Joe Biden, in Hiroshima for the Group of Seven summit of major industrialised nations, has said he's confident about reaching a deal with Republicans to allow the US government to increase its credit limit and borrow more. The US government is scheduled to run out of cash to pay its bills as soon as June 1 unless a deal is made, and economists say a US federal default could have catastrophic consequences across financial markets and the economy. Stocks have remained remarkably resilient since early April despite a long list of worries. A major reason for that is hope the Fede

A calmer Wall Street holds relatively steady ahead of US jobs data

Stocks are holding relatively steady Tuesday, as Wall Street continues to find more calm following its tumultuous swings in March. The S&P 500 was virtually unchanged in early trading. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was edging down by 44 points, or 0.1 per cent, at 33,556, as of 9:50 a.m. Eastern time, while the Nasdaq composite was 0.1 per cent lower. Both the stock and bond markets have been steadying after swerving sharply through the first three months of the year. Many big questions still weigh on Wall Street, but the worst fears driven by the second- and third-largest US bank failures in history have abated following forceful actions by regulators around the world. Investors are still split on whether the US economy will fall into a recession and how badly profits for companies are set to fall. The biggest question remains what the Federal Reserve will do next with interest rates after hiking them furiously over the last year to get high inflation under control. A report ..

Washington turns to Wall Street to help rescue dying First Republic Bank

The scene was reminiscent of the last financial crisis, nearly 15 years ago: Faced with a blossoming emergency in the banking sector, worried regulators and policymakers in Washington turned to Wall Street for help. The anxiety this week centred on First Republic Bank in San Francisco, which was once the envy of the banking sector, with its wealthy and well-travelled clientele. Now the bank was reeling after some of those customers withdrew billions of dollars. As early as Tuesday, it became clear to policymakers that the First Republic needed to be rescued or it could fail, two people briefed on the matter told The Associated Press, speaking anonymously because they were not authorized to discuss details. The result was a swift agreement among the nation's leading banks to lay aside competitive instincts to come to First Republic's aid. With Washington greasing the wheels, a coalition of lenders put USD 30 billion in uninsured deposits into the California-based bank as a show of ..
