The S&P 500 remained largely unchanged today after recovering from early session losses that were sparked by concerns over a Department of Justice investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and a sell off in bank stocks. Investors reacted to the news of the probe with caution but the market rebounded as traders assessed underlying economic strength and corporate earnings.
Bank stocks led the early declines as major names including Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, and Citigroup fell amid worries about potential regulatory and interest rate pressures. Despite this, demand for equities helped the S&P 500 regain ground and close the session near its opening levels.
Market analysts suggest that investors are balancing uncertainty around political and legal developments with optimism about economic resilience. Attention remains focused on interest rate guidance, upcoming earnings reports, and further updates regarding the investigation into the Federal Reserve Chair.
