Big Banks Report, Dow Record High, Delta Flies Lower 01/12/24
Carl Quintanilla and Jim Cramer began the show by breaking down the big bank earnings with JPMorgan, Wells Fargo, Bank of America and Citi all reporting results. JPMorgan’s profit fell for the fourth quarter after paying a $2.9 billion fee tied to the government seizures of failed regional banks last year. The anchors then shifted to the week’s second batch of inflation data, after wholesale prices unexpectedly declined in December, providing a positive signal for inflation. Other headlines this hour included: Delta Air Lines shares falling after trimming its 2024 earnings forecast, and Bitcoin ETFs seeing $4.6B in volume in their first day of trading.
