The stock in the big bank rose 2.2 percent. The industry index for banks and financial companies lost 0.3 percent.
But many clouds of worry still hang over Wall Street, including the dispute over the country’s national debt limit. And above all, there is great uncertainty regarding the interest rate. At the Federal Reserve’s next meeting, which ends on Wednesday, most analysts believe the central bank will raise the key rate by 0.25 percentage points to 5.25 percent.
The broad S&P 500 index, the Dow Jones industrial index and the technology-heavy Nasdaq composite index all retreated 0.1 percent.
