The American Bankers Association Foundation today announced it will start collecting tax-exempt contributions through its Disaster Relief Program website to help aid relief efforts in Vermont after a major storm resulted in catastrophic flooding in the state on July 11. The flooding has devastated cities and towns in Vermont, left hundreds homeless and claimed at least one life. It has also caused significant damage to homes and businesses, including several bank branches and the homes of bank employees. At the request of the Vermont Bankers Association (VBA), the ABA Foundation will immediately begin accepting donations today, with all funds raised directed to the Vermont Community Foundation, which is aiding relief efforts throughout the state. ABA announced that the association will lead the fundraising effort by contributing $25,000 through the Foundation’s Disaster Relief Program to assist those affected by the historic flooding. | |

Bank of America Private Bank Market Minute | |
Both the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average rose over 2% this past week, while the Nasdaq Composite added over 3% and reached its highest level in 15 months. Signs percolated that the S&P 500 rally is gaining breadth: According to the July 14 Wall Street Journal article, more than 140 stocks in the index have hit fresh 52-week highs since the end of May; meanwhile the share of S&P 500 stocks closing above their 50-day moving averages surpassed 80% for the first time since December 2022 this past week. Yields on U.S. Treasurys fell sharply following a softer-than-expected headline inflation print. U.S. inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose just 3% over the last year, the smallest increase since March 2021. However, core inflation which strips out volatile food and energy costs has proven sticky, falling from 5.3% to 4.8% year-over-year. The Labor Department’s June Producer Price Index for final demand showed inflationary pressures are easing for businesses as well, as prices increased by 0.1% in June from a year earlier, the smallest annual increase since 2020. According to United Nation data, the U.S. remained the top destination of foreign direct investment again in 2022, accounting for roughly 22% of global inflows; China was a distant second, with a share of 14%. This week, 60 more S&P 500 companies will report on Q2 earnings. The Census Bureau will report June’s U.S. retail sales data, while the Conference Board is due to release its Leading Economic Index for June which has previously declined for 14 consecutive months. | |

The Biden Administration has launched an initiative directed at combatting so-called “junk fees,” with the CFPB and FTC leading the Administration’s efforts. In Part I of this two-part episode, we first discuss the various definitions offered by the White House, CFPB, and FTC for what constitutes a “junk fee” and the types of fees they have labeled “junk fees.” We then discuss the CFPB’s credit card late fees proposal and criticisms of the proposal set forth in comment letters. We conclude with a discussion of guidance on overdraft and non-sufficient funds fees issued by the CFPB, OCC, and FDIC and by state regulators and CFPB enforcement activity related to overdraft and NSF fees. | |
