Bank of America Deepens Support for the Arts in CanadaMay 29, 2026 9:00 AM
PR Newswire (US) New funding supports cultural preservation initiatives in Montreal and Toronto, including sponsorship of major international conservation conferenceKey pointsExpanded funding and programming help to preserve art and cultural heritage in CanadaSupport combines conservation leadership with long–standing local ties in CanadaSince 2013, Bank of America has funded several initiatives in Canada spanning restoration projects and partnerships with leading cultural institutionsBank of America's roots in Canada go back to 1903TORONTO, May 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Bank of America today announced three major initiatives supporting the arts in Canada, including recent funding for restoration projects in Montreal and Toronto, as well as lead sponsorship of the American Institute for Conservation's Annual Meeting and Conference, which took place this year in Montreal. These efforts build on the firm's long-standing commitment to cultural preservation in Canada. Since 2013, Bank of America has supported several cultural initiatives across the country through its global Art Conservation Project and partnerships with leading cultural institutions, helping to conserve important works of art and expand public access to the arts."At Bank of America, we believe that investing in the arts enriches lives, and we support nonprofit partners to expand access while preserving art and heritage for future generations," said Drew McDonald, Country Executive and President of Bank of America Canada. "We're especially proud of our long-standing roots in Canada, dating back to 1903, and of our broad presence across the country of 1,000 teammates who help clients drive growth globally."Montreal
Bank of America is providing funding to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA) to restore Alice Rahon's Juggler (1946) through its Art Conservation Project. It is one of only 18 historic artworks worldwide to receive the conservation grant by the firm.A complex marionette sculpture – with a deeply moving story, Juggler was created shortly after World War II, when Rahon, an eminent ?gure of the Surrealist movement, turned to the cosmos to contemplate the continuation of humanity after such a catastrophe.The work is in unstable condition today. The current system of presentation in a transparent plexiglass box induces physical stress in the structure and increases the risk of breakage, torsion, and deformation of the metallic components and micro-lift in the gold paint layer.The grant will enable the complete restoration of the artwork, bringing together MMFA curators, conservation specialists, and a puppeteer to conduct expert analysis, restore movement, and create a custom suspension harness and display case that ensure long-term protection while honoring the work's identity as a marionette."Alice Rahon's Juggler is an extraordinary work of postwar Surrealism, and its conservation is essential to preserving the stories and artistic voices that shape our cultural memory," said  Mary-Dailey Desmarais, Zhao-Ionescu Chief Curator of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. "The financial support enables us to stabilize and restore this remarkably delicate sculpture so it can be shared with the public as the artist intended. The collaboration with the bank allows us to protect a vital piece of artistic heritage and deepen our commitment to conservation excellence in Canada."In line with Bank of America's commitment to art conservation, the firm was the lead sponsor of the American Institute for Conservation's (AIC) Annual Meeting and Conference this year —marking its fourth year supporting the event—which took place in Montreal. AIC is a leading membership association for conservators and allied professionals dedicated to preserving cultural heritage, representing more than 3,500 individuals across more than 40 countries.This year's programming included talks, panels, and presentations centered on the theme "Conservation at the Intersection of Innovation and Tradition," exploring how conservation practices evolve at the edge of experimentation while remaining deeply rooted in continuity, legacy, and community.As part of the conference, the AIC led a Community Partnership Project at McGill University's Redpath Museum. Also supported by Bank of America, the initiative brought together emerging and established conservation professionals to help improve storage conditions for the museum's collections. The team worked on the conservation of a unique collection of historic woven baskets and developed a plan to enhance the institution's long-term preservation capabilities."Bank of America's support for our meeting and this project continue to demonstrate their outstanding commitment to preservation and the arts," said Lissa Rosenthal-Yoffe, Executive Director of AIC. "Being able to gather as a community and give back to our hosting city is incredibly meaningful—Bank of America is an essential partner in this work." Toronto
The Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) in Toronto also received funding from the Bank of America Art Conservation Project™  for a restoration project to support the conservation of three works by Canadian painter Pegi Nicol MacLeod (1904–1949), an influential pioneer of Modernism."Pegi Nicol MacLeod was a trailblazing Modern artist, and her paintings are a treasured part of the AGO Collection. Stabilizing these works so they may return to public view is an important step in advancing recognition of her remarkable legacy," said Maria Sullivan, Head of Conservation, Art Gallery of Ontario. "Thanks to Bank of America's generous support, our conservation team can address long–standing structural challenges in these paintings and ensure that MacLeod's vivid, dynamic vision can once again be experienced by audiences in Canada and beyond."Bank of America

Bank of America Community Homeownership Commitment Delivers Over $15 Billion in Affordable Home Loans and GrantsMay 28, 2026 9:00 AM
PR Newswire (US) Program will become a standing commitment, continuing to help individuals and families overcome barriers to homeownership amid persistent affordability challengesKey pointsBank of America is continuing its Community Homeownership Commitment after delivering more than $15 billion in affordable home loans since 2019.The program has supported more than 57,000 homebuyers and provided over $600 million in down payment and closing cost grants nationwide.Through CHC, consumers can continue to access non-repayable grants, affordable lending solutions and free education resources to address affordability challenges in today's housing market.CHARLOTTE, N.C., May 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Bank of America announced today that its Community Homeownership Commitment will remain in place following the successful delivery of more than $15 billion in affordable home loans, including over $600 million in down payment and closing cost grants, to 57,000 homebuyers across communities nationwide. This multi-year initiative, launched in 2019, has expanded access to affordable and sustainable homeownership. "Affordability remains one of the biggest barriers to homeownership today," said Matt Vernon, head of Consumer Lending at Bank of America. "Continuing this commitment reflects years of focused work to help more people move from aspiration to ownership through responsible lending and targeted solutions, while recognizing that the challenges in today's housing market are ongoing."The Community Homeownership Commitment reinforces Bank of America's long-standing effort to help people access sustainable homeownership by reducing upfront costs in markets where affordability pressures have intensified. It includes affordable mortgage products, non-repayable grants, financial education resources and access to dedicated lending professionals and community partners.The program offers:A down payment grant of up to $10,000 (or 3% of home purchase price, whichever is less) to help eligible buyers address one of the biggest barriers to homeownership in select areas.Up to $7,500 through America's Home Grant®, which can be applied toward eligible non-recurring closing costs — such as title insurance and recording fees — or used to permanently buy down the interest rate.Low-down-payment mortgage options designed for low- to moderate-income borrowers and first-time homebuyers.As a key part of the program, Bank of America partners with more than 300 nonprofit, HUD-certified housing counseling organizations nationwide to provide homebuyer education and preparation. The bank collaborates with strategic trade partners to engage real estate professionals in supporting modest income and first-time buyers. Additionally, we work with hundreds of community down payment assistance programs, housing choice voucher programs and grant providers to help buyers maximize available resources for homebuyers.Frequently asked questionsQuestion: Are you re-committing to another $15 billion in loans and grants?
Answer: We have not set a new, specific dollar target for the bank. Rather, having achieved the $15 billion goal established in 2019, we have decided to continue the program and its solutions because affordability remains a significant challenge for many prospective homeowners in today's housing market.Question: Is the program running indefinitely now?
Answer: Yes, as the program has helped address barriers to homeownership over the past several years, today's environment—marked by rising housing costs, higher interest rates, and limited housing supply—continues to create challenges for individuals and families. Our Community Homeownership Commitment is now an ongoing program, allowing us to build on what has worked and remain responsive to ongoing affordability pressures in many communities.Question: Will the program continue to offer the same benefits?
Answer: Yes. The program will continue to offer down payment and closing cost grants, low-down-payment mortgage options, financial education, and access to dedicated lending specialists and community partners. These tools are designed to help more people responsibly achieve sustainable homeownership in markets where affordability challenges persist.Bank of AmericaBank of America is one of the world's leading financial institutions, serving individual consumers, small and middle-market businesses and large corporations with a full range of banking, investing, asset management and other financial and risk management products and services.

Bank of America Outlook Sees Renewed Opportunity Across Commercial Real Estate, Farmland, Timberland and EnergyMay 21, 2026 10:00 AM
PR Newswire (US) Key findingsReal assets remain an important diversification tool in uncertain markets.Improving fundamentals are reshaping opportunities in commercial real estate and land.Rising power demand driven by AI is changing the energy investment landscape.CHARLOTTE, N.C., May 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Bank of America today released its 2026 Specialty Asset Management Outlook, highlighting investment opportunities across commercial real estate (CRE), farmland, timberland, and energy. As capital markets reopen and short-term borrowing costs decline, the report reveals a more constructive investment environment for real-asset investors in 2026 and beyond. "In uncertain markets, real assets can serve as a powerful diversifier for ultra-high-net-worth individuals and institutions," said Ken Shepard, Head of Specialty Asset Management at Bank of America. "Real assets' historically low correlation to traditional assets and potential inflation-hedging characteristics can dampen the effects of volatility over the long term while helping provide differentiated returns."CRE turns the corner with improving fundamentals and emerging capital market rebound
After a significant interest-rate driven reset that began in 2022, CRE appears to be turning the corner, with values at or nearing an inflection point. Vacancies have largely peaked, new forward supply is muted, and negative appreciation returns have faded, approaching positive territory as transaction activity picks up and more capital enters in the market. Fundamentals are poised to continue improving, supported by secular demand trends (industrial, apartments, medical) and cyclical trends (retail and apartments). Together, these dynamics position CRE as an increasingly attractive entry point for long-term investors.Farmland recalibrates with opportunities in select markets
Farmland markets are entering a recalibration phase following several years of strong appreciation. While excess commodity supply and trade and interest-rate uncertainty continue to weigh on near-term conditions, their impact has eased compared with a year ago, reinforcing farmland's durable long-term role in diversified portfolios. Its inflation-resistant profile and stable income potential continue to attract investors, with value opportunities emerging in markets such as California, where climate conditions in the Central Valley support permanent crops, and the Northern Plains, driven by strong livestock markets.Timberland supported by improving housing demand
Elevated construction and borrowing costs weighed on U.S. housing in 2025 and put short-term pressure on lumber prices. Despite these headwinds, long-term timberland fundamentals remained stable, and the U.S. South continued to attract significant sawmill and bioenergy investment. Improving housing demand and increased timber consumption are expected to drive long-term timberland value appreciation. Looking ahead, disciplined market monitoring and proactive asset management, rather than simply a buy-and-hold approach, can help investors capture emerging opportunities in the sector.Energy markets shift as AI drives power demand
In 2026, demand is rising for reliable electricity as artificial intelligence, data centers, and broader electrification accelerate and place increasing strain on aging power grids. Oil markets continue to introduce uncertainty amid geopolitical risks, evolving supply dynamics, and changing energy security priorities. Meanwhile, natural gas will continue to play a growing role in meeting energy needs. The balance between fuel abundance and power scarcity will be a defining theme for investors.Read Bank of America's full 2026 Specialty Asset Management Outlook.Frequently asked questionsQuestion: What is Bank of America's Specialty Asset Management group?
Answer: Bank of America's Specialty Asset Management (SAM) group helps clients integrate real assets into their broader wealth management plans through a disciplined, long-term approach. Backed by decades of hands-on expertise, the team provides investment guidance, oversight, and stewardship for a range of specialty assets, including commercial real estate, farmland, timberland, energy and mineral interests, and private businesses. The SAM team works with advisors and their clients who already own real assets or are considering acquiring them. Today, the team manages client assets with a total asset value of over $13 billion.Question: How are specialty assets different from traditional investments?
Answer: Specialty assets often involve operating considerations, unique risk profiles, and longer holding periods than traditional financial assets. They require active oversight and specialized expertise, particularly around liquidity needs, valuation, and operations. Importantly, these assets often behave differently from traditional stocks and bonds, which can make them a non-correlated option within a broader, diversified portfolio. For many ultra-high-net-worth families and institutions, specialty assets also represent holdings tied to legacy, making thoughtful management and oversight especially important.Question: How does the Specialty Asset Management group support clients across market cycles?
Answer: For ultra-high-net-worth clients and institutions, specialty assets often carry both significant financial value and long-term legacy considerations. The SAM group supports clients across market cycles by providing consistent governance and oversight, with a focus on risk management, cash-flow sustainability, and long-term asset stewardship. This includes monitoring market developments, overseeing third-party operators and advisors, and helping ensure specialty assets remain aligned with clients' broader objectives as markets, regulations, and legacy goals evolve over time.Bank of America

BofA Study Finds Fewer Gen Z Rely on Family for Financial Assistance, Even With 42% Living Paycheck to PaycheckMay 19, 2026 9:08 AM
PR Newswire (US) From $0 date nights to loud budgeting, Better Money Habits® Survey reveals how Gen Z is managing through affordability challenges and social spending pressureKey findingsNearly 70% of Gen Z have taken concrete steps to manage rising costs in the past year.The high cost of living remains a challenge, with nearly half (49%) of Gen Z citing it as a top barrier to financial success.Roughly half (51%) of Gen Z spend $0 per month on romantic dates, and nearly a quarter (24%) say they are delaying moving relationships forward due to finances.60% of Gen Z talk openly about money with friends, and 75% look for ways to save when going out.CHARLOTTE, N.C., May 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- According to the Bank of America 2026 Better Money Habits® financial education study, 81% of Gen Z (ages 18-29) say it's important to be perceived by others as financially responsible, and fewer are relying on family for financial assistance. Today, 34% of Gen Z report receiving some form of financial assistance from their parents or other family members, down from 46% in 2024. When examined more closely, while 51% of younger Gen Z (ages 18-22) receive financial assistance, this drops to 29% for middle Gen Z (23-25) and just 18% for older Gen Z (26-29). Redefining what it means to take control of their finances in early adulthood, nearly 70% of Gen Z have taken concrete steps in the past year to manage rising costs, including cutting back on dining out (40%), passing on events with friends (24%) and picking up a side hustle (16%).  "Gen Z knows money stress is real—but they're meeting it head-on," said Holly O'Neill, President of Consumer at Bank of America. "They're budgeting honestly, cutting back when they need to, and having real conversations about money as they work toward their goals."High cost of living continues to strain Gen Z
Meanwhile, 42% of Gen Z report living paycheck-to-paycheck, and the high cost of living remains a significant barrier, with nearly half (49%) citing it as a top barrier to financial success. According to Bank of America Institute, median rent growth for Gen Z and Millennials slowed significantly in the 12 months to February 2026 compared to 2024 and 2023. However, housing costs still weigh heavily on this generation, with nearly 30% of those surveyed pointing to housing and rent as top barriers to financial success, a figure that has remained consistent in recent years. Bank of America Institute also finds that Gen Z appears most exposed to rising gas prices compared to other generations.Despite the strain on their wallets, 66% of Gen Z say they are saving, up from 60% in 2024:36% put any leftover money into savings when possible;22% contribute to a 401(k) account, and21% put a set percentage of their paycheck into a savings account every month.The $0 date: Gen Z feels the financial pressure on romance
When it comes to dating, Gen Z is keeping costs down and views a potential partner's relationship with money as a meaningful indicator of compatibility.Over half (51%) spend $0 per month on romantic dates and 14% spend less than $50 per month.  Among those spending less than $50, 24% say they simply aren't interested in dating, while 15% say they can't afford it.Nearly a quarter (24%) are delaying moving relationships forward because of their financial situation.74% say financial responsibility is important in a partner, and 43% view irresponsible spending as a dealbreaker (compared to 33% of Millennials).Gen Z is "Loud" and transparent about money
Rather than abandoning financial goals in the face of affordability concerns, Gen Z is setting boundaries, adjusting social habits and being more transparent about money than previous generations:75% of Gen Z take active steps to save money when making social plans.42% practice "loud budgeting," being vocal with friends about what social outings they can and cannot afford.60% say they talk about money with their friends, covering historically taboo topics like salary (27%) and financial stress (24%).When asked what they'd do with an extra $300 a month, more than half (54%) say they would put it straight into savings, outpacing Millennials (44%), Gen X (40%) and Baby Boomers (45%).Little treats with a side of guilt
Gen Z hasn't given up on small indulgences. In fact, 92% treat themselves, and over half (52%) do so at least once a week, whether it be doughnuts or new sunglasses. At the same time, the spending remorse is real: 41% experience financial guilt at least once a week and 40% seek validation from family or friends before or after making a purchase. When it comes to priorities, 67% say they spend more on goods than experiences, and 19% say they'd choose material goods for themselves even if it means spending less on experiences with others.About the 2026 Better Money Habits® Gen Z report
The annual study draws on Bank of America's Better Money Habits® financial education platform and proprietary survey data conducted by Ipsos. The research is based on a nationally representative sample of Gen Z adults (ages 18-29) across the United States, surveyed in both English and Spanish. The study is designed to track the evolving financial habits, attitudes and challenges of younger Americans over time, and to inform the tools, resources and guidance offered through BetterMoneyHabits.com.The Bank of America Better Money Habits® platform supports Gen Z in building on positive habits by offering free financial education resources around budgets, setting goals and working toward long-term financial independence.Methodology
This survey was conducted online from Feb. 10 – 28, 2026, by Ipsos. This study is based on national samples of more than 2,000 respondents, including 1,146 general population adults (age 18 or older) and 1,133 general population Gen Z adults (age 18-29). The survey was conducted both in English and Spanish and utilized samples from both opt-in sources and the Ipsos KnowledgePanel®, the largest and most well-established online probability-based panel that is representative of the adult US population. The margin of sampling error for the general population sample is +/- 3.0 percentage points and for the general population Gen Z sample is +/- 3.0 percentage points at the 95 percent confidence level.The survey data has been weighted to match national population benchmarks. The general population sample and general population Gen Z sample were weighted separately to match national population demographics of gender, age, race/ethnicity, education, region, metropolitan status, household income, language proficiency and Hispanic origin. Benchmarks for these variables were obtained from the Census Bureau's 2025 Current Population Survey (CPS), with the exception of benchmarks for language proficiency, which were obtained from the Census Bureau's 2024 American Community Survey (ACS).Better Money Habits

Over 15,000 objects in 40 countries have been conserved through the Bank of America Art Conservation Project™ since 2010.NEW YORK, April 23, 2026 /CNW/ -- Bank of America announced today that 18 nonprofit cultural institutions across 10 countries will receive grants this year through the Bank of America Art Conservation Project™. The selected projects represent a wide range of artistic traditions and conservation needs, from fragile works on paper to paintings and objects requiring advanced preservation techniques.







This year's selections were unveiled at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, which received an Art Conservation Project™ grant in 2019 for the conservation of Vincent van Gogh's The Starry Night. MoMA is currently hosting a Marcel Duchamp exhibition sponsored by BofA."Every artwork has its own story - which is sometimes hidden beneath varnish, cracked pigment or centuries of decay," said Brian Siegel, Global Arts, Culture & Heritage Executive at Bank of America. "Conservation is the quiet work that brings those stories forward today and for future generations. What stands out about this year's projects is the variety of techniques involved. Some require meticulous surface cleaning, and in others, conservators will use imaging tools that didn't exist even a decade ago. Regardless of the method, the goal is simple: to ensure these works remain visible, accessible and enjoyed by visitors for years to come."All conserved works will return to public display, reinforcing BofA's commitment to public access.

Commemorating America 250, BofA Announces $5M Founding Sponsorship of Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library and Continued Commitment to Restoration of More Than 100 Presidential PortraitsApril 16, 2026 7:30 AM
PR Newswire (US)

Key points$5M founding gift to the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library, supporting inaugural exhibitions, including one by Pulitzer Prize–winning photographer David Hume KennerlySponsorship of the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery to assess and conserve 110 historic presidential portraitsWASHINGTON, April 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As the nation prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary, Bank of America today announced a new partnership to preserve the legacy of the American presidency. Through a $5 million capital gift to the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library and the ongoing assessment and conservation of 110 presidential portraits and frames at the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery, Bank of America is helping preserve the history of the leaders who defined our nation for generations to come.







The announcement is being made at a private event in Washington, bringing together civic leaders, cultural institutions, business executives and clients during a pivotal week in the nation's capital focused on democracy, leadership and the global economy.Preserving the Presidency — Past and PresentTheodore Roosevelt Presidential LibraryOpening July 4, 2026 and set in the North Dakota Badlands – the place that shaped Theodore Roosevelt's worldview and leadership – the library will explore the presidency, conservation, civic responsibility and the evolving American experiment. As a founding sponsor, Bank of America is supporting the development of the library and its inaugural exhibitions, including Theodore Roosevelt's White House and a featured photography exhibit by Pulitzer Prize–winning photographer David Hume Kennerly. As a former Official White House Photographer who has documented thirteen consecutive U.S. presidents, Kennerly's work transcends any single administration. The Kennerly exhibition opening this fall offers an intimate look at the presidency and the people behind it over the last half-century, as well as the cultural moments that shaped the nation. The Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library is currently being built in Medora, N.D., a project made possible through the dedicated support of state leadership, including Sec. Doug Burgum in his capacity as Governor of North Dakota. "Bank of America has grown alongside our country by helping people, businesses of every size, and communities prosper," said Brian Moynihan, Chair and CEO of Bank of America. "The Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library—and the Kennerly exhibition on the modern presidency—reflect Theodore Roosevelt's belief that strong leadership and democratic institutions drive economic opportunity. We commend Secretary Burgum's leadership, from his time as governor to today, in advancing a vision that links history, civic responsibility, and long-term prosperity."National Portrait GalleryThe sponsorship builds on Bank of America's long-standing support for historic preservation and public education, including its support of the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery through the Bank of America Art Conservation Project.As part of the initiative, the Portrait Gallery is undertaking a comprehensive conservation effort focused on "America's Presidents," its signature exhibition since 1962. The project includes assessment and potential conservation of 110 presidential portraits and frames, many of which have never undergone formal conservation, ensuring these works remain available to the public for generations to come. Following conservation, the portraits will return to public view as part of the museum's collection and the "America's Presidents" gallery.As America approaches its semiquincentennial, these two efforts reflect a shared recognition: history is not only something to preserve, but something to engage—through institutions, leadership and civic participation.More information about Bank of America's celebrations of America's 250th anniversary and its long-standing support for communities, culture and education is available on the company's website at: www.bofa.com/america250.Bank of AmericaBank of America is one of the world's leading financial institutions, serving individual consumers, small and middle-market businesses and large corporations with a full range of banking, investing, asset management and other financial and risk management products and services.

Bank of America Beats Q1 Expectations, Highlights ‘Strong Momentum’April 15, 2026 8:39 AM
IH Market News
Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) reported first-quarter results on Wednesday that exceeded analyst forecasts for both earnings and revenue.Adjusted earnings per share came in at $1.11, ahead of the $1.01 consensus estimate. Revenue totaled $30.3 billion, topping expectations of $29.92 billion and rising 7% from $28.2 billion in the same period a year earlier.Net income increased 17% year-on-year to $8.6 billion, up from $7.4 billion. Growth was driven by a 9% rise in net interest income to $15.7 billion, alongside double-digit increases in trading revenue, investment banking fees and asset management fees. Higher deposit and loan balances, repricing of fixed-rate assets and stronger activity in Global Markets supported net interest income, although partially offset by lower interest rates.Shares gained 1.2% in premarket trading following the release.“Earnings per share rose 25% year-over-year, starting 2026 with strong momentum,” said Chair and CEO Brian Moynihan. “Revenue growth of 7% year-over-year included net interest income that was better than we expected, up 9%, as well as double-digit growth in sales and trading revenue, investment banking fees and asset management fees.”The bank’s provision for credit losses declined to $1.3 billion from $1.5 billion in the first quarter of 2025, while net charge-offs fell to $1.4 billion from $1.5 billion. Noninterest expenses rose 4% to $18.5 billion, reflecting higher revenue-related costs and continued investment in personnel and technology. The efficiency ratio improved by roughly 170 basis points to 61%, with operating leverage reaching 2.9%.Average deposit balances climbed 3% to $2.02 trillion, marking the 11th straight quarter of sequential growth. Average loans and leases rose 9% to $1.19 trillion, with expansion across all business segments. The bank returned $9.3 billion to shareholders during the quarter, including about $2.0 billion in dividends and $7.2 billion through share buybacks.Bank of America stock price

Original: Bank of America Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Futures Steady as Iran Talks Hopes and Earnings Season Shape Market Mood: Dow Jones, S&P, Nasdaq, Wall StreetApril 15, 2026 5:33 AM
IH Market News
Futures tied to major U.S. indices were little changed, as investors monitored the prospect of renewed peace discussions between the United States and Iran. Hopes of easing tensions have helped keep oil prices below the $100-per-barrel level, even as Washington maintains a blockade on Iranian ports. At the same time, the earnings season continues to gather pace, with major U.S. banks pointing to a resilient economy despite geopolitical pressures.



Futures hold steady



U.S. equity futures were broadly flat on Wednesday, with markets balancing geopolitical developments against a heavy flow of corporate results.By 03:28 ET, futures on the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq 100 were all trading close to unchanged.Despite volatility linked to the Iran conflict and disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz—a key global shipping route—U.S. equities have remained on an upward trajectory. The S&P 500 ended Tuesday near record highs, while the Nasdaq Composite has surged roughly 14% over the past 10 sessions, marking its longest winning streak since 2021.The early stages of the quarterly earnings season have also supported sentiment. Major U.S. lenders have highlighted continued strength in consumer spending and borrowing, suggesting the economy remains robust despite risks tied to potential energy shocks.“It’s still way too early in the [calendar year first quarter] earnings season to draw any firm conclusions, but so far, we’ve been impressed by the resiliency of Corporate America,” analysts at Vital Knowledge said in a note.



Trump points to renewed Iran talks



U.S. President Donald Trump indicated that negotiations between Washington and Tehran could resume within the next two days, following initial discussions held in Pakistan last weekend.Vice President JD Vance, who led the U.S. delegation in Islamabad, also expressed optimism regarding the progress of talks.However, the U.S. continues to enforce a blockade on Iranian ports, with officials stating that maritime trade to and from the country has effectively been halted. The restrictions were introduced earlier this week after talks in Pakistan failed to deliver an immediate ceasefire, though expectations for a rapid agreement had already been limited.While the blockade has heightened concerns about oil supply disruptions in the Persian Gulf, recent reports suggest some improvement. According to the Wall Street Journal, more than 20 commercial vessels have recently passed through the Strait of Hormuz, indicating partial easing in transit conditions.



Oil prices remain below $100



With hopes of a potential de-escalation, crude prices stayed below the $100 threshold.At 03:16 ET, Brent crude futures were up 0.3% at $95.10 per barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude edged down 0.2% to $91.12.The softer oil environment has contributed to a slight weakening in the U.S. dollar, which had previously strengthened as a safe-haven asset during the conflict. A dollar index tracking the currency against a basket of peers is now only marginally above levels seen before the war began in late February.Even so, oil prices remain elevated compared with pre-conflict levels, reflecting ongoing supply concerns linked to disruptions at the Strait of Hormuz, through which roughly 20% of global oil flows.Additional supply risks may emerge after the U.S. opted not to extend a 30-day waiver on sanctions covering Iranian oil shipments at sea, due to expire this week. Reuters also reported that a similar waiver for Russian oil was not renewed after expiring last weekend.



Focus shifts to bank earnings



Attention is now turning to further results from major U.S. lenders, including Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) and Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS), both scheduled to report later in the day.Market volatility—driven by geopolitical tensions and rapid developments in artificial intelligence—has supported trading revenues at large banks. Institutions such as JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) tend to benefit from heightened market activity, as clients adjust portfolios and increase hedging.JPMorgan reported a 20% increase in markets revenue for the three months ending March 31, reflecting similar trends seen at competitors like Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS).Despite market turbulence, banking executives have also pointed to a strong dealmaking environment, with expectations that 2026 could see a wave of major transactions, particularly involving AI and space-related companies.



European earnings in focus



In Europe, corporate earnings have also influenced market sentiment.Hermès (EU:RMS) reported slower quarterly sales growth due to demand pressures linked to the Middle East conflict. Meanwhile, Kering (EU:KER) also posted weaker sales, although it noted some improvement in demand trends. Combined with recent results from Dior-owner LVMH, these updates suggest the luxury sector may be facing increasing headwinds.Shares of both Hermès and Kering declined sharply on Wednesday.On a more positive note, ASML (EU:ASML) provided support to European markets. The company raised its full-year sales outlook, benefiting from strong demand driven by the AI boom. Major chipmakers such as TSMC and Intel continue to invest heavily in ASML’s technology as they expand their AI capabilities.ASML shares rose by more than 1%.Bank of America stock priceMorgan Stanley stock priceJPMorgan Chase stock priceGoldman Sachs Group stock price

Markets Rise on Iran Peace Hopes; Bank Earnings in Focus: Dow Jones, S&P, Nasdaq, Wall Street FuturesApril 14, 2026 4:59 AM
IH Market News
U.S. equity futures edged higher on Tuesday, while oil prices declined, as investors reacted to signs of potential progress in efforts to end the Iran conflict. However, a continued U.S. blockade of Iranian ports into a second day has added tension, further disrupting shipments through the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, a wave of major U.S. bank earnings is set to dominate market attention, and luxury group LVMH (EU:MC) highlighted the conflict’s impact on sales.



Futures Tick Higher



U.S. stock futures moved modestly upward, supported by optimism around ongoing negotiations between Washington and Tehran aimed at securing a lasting ceasefire. Investors are also preparing for a busy earnings schedule from major financial institutions.As of 03:17 ET, Dow futures rose by 51 points, or 0.1%, S&P 500 futures gained 10 points, or 0.1%, and Nasdaq 100 futures climbed 72 points, or 0.3%.Wall Street’s main indices had already posted gains in the previous session, as initial disappointment over the lack of a breakthrough in weekend talks between the U.S. and Iran faded. U.S. President Donald Trump said the White House had been contacted by Iranian officials and expressed a desire to “make a deal,” adding that Iran will not have a nuclear weapon.“[W]hile the meeting was certainly disappointing, it was hardly catastrophic, and if one looks closely, Trump seems to be pivoting aggressively away from kinetic escalation,” analysts at Vital Knowledge said.They added that their view of the situation is “relatively sanguine,” though the “economic fallout from what’s already occurred” could be “significant.”



U.S. Blockade Continues to Disrupt Shipping



At the same time, the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports, which began Monday, has tightened constraints on oil flows already impacted by the conflict.Tehran has condemned the move as an “act of piracy,” with reports suggesting around 15 U.S. warships are involved. British maritime authorities said access has been restricted for vessels operating near Iranian ports and across key waterways in the Persian Gulf, Gulf of Oman, and parts of the Arabian Sea.Despite these tensions, diplomatic efforts appear to be gaining traction. According to Reuters, talks between the U.S. and Iran have continued, with some progress toward a permanent ceasefire. Pakistan has offered to host further negotiations following the initial round held in Islamabad.Elsewhere, Israel and Lebanon are set to begin direct peace talks in Washington, with ongoing strikes involving Iran-aligned Hezbollah forces remaining a key obstacle.



Oil Prices Ease Below $100



The prospect of diplomatic progress helped push oil prices lower, with Brent crude falling 1.5% to $97.88 per barrel and U.S. West Texas Intermediate declining 3.4% to $95.78.However, the outlook remains uncertain. The OPEC reduced its forecast for global oil demand in the second quarter by 500,000 barrels per day in its first assessment of the Iran conflict’s impact.Even so, the group left its full-year outlook unchanged, indicating expectations that demand could recover later in 2026.



Bank Earnings Take Centre Stage



Attention is now shifting to corporate earnings, with several major U.S. banks set to report results.JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM), Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC), and Citigroup (NYSE:C) are due to release quarterly figures before the U.S. market opens, followed by Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) and Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) on Wednesday.Analysts expect trading revenues and investment banking fees to support results, even as uncertainty tied to the Iran conflict persists. Earlier this month, Jamie Dimon warned that the conflict could trigger commodity price shocks, potentially sustaining inflation and pushing interest rates higher than currently anticipated.On Monday, Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) reported a 19% increase in first-quarter profit, driven by strong performance in trading and investment banking.



LVMH Highlights Impact of Iran Conflict



In Europe, shares of LVMH (EU:MC) fell in early trading after the company said the Middle East conflict had reduced group sales by at least 1%, dampening expectations for a continued recovery in the luxury sector.The group, which owns brands such as Louis Vuitton and Bulgari, reported a 1% increase in quarterly sales, missing estimates for 1.5% growth, according to Visible Alpha data cited by Reuters.Finance chief Cécile Cabanis said that “[w]hat we see today is still that demand is very much down” following disruptions to shopping activity in the Middle East after the outbreak of the Iran conflict.Rival Kering (EU:KER), owner of Gucci, is scheduled to report results after the close of European markets later in the day.JPMorgan Chase stock priceWells Fargo stock priceCitigroup stock priceBank of America stock priceMorgan Stanley stock priceGoldman Sachs Group stock price

Five key themes for markets in the week aheadApril 13, 2026 6:45 AM
IH Market News
Geopolitics is taking centre stage at the start of the trading week, with a planned U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz driving fresh volatility across markets. The move has pushed oil prices higher again, while upcoming inflation data and a busy earnings calendar could provide further direction for investors.



1. U.S. moves ahead with Hormuz blockade



The U.S. military has confirmed it will begin restricting maritime traffic linked to Iran through the Strait of Hormuz from 10 a.m. Eastern on Monday, following an order from President Donald Trump after weekend talks with Iran failed to yield progress.According to the Pentagon, vessels “entering or departing Iranian ports and coastal areas” will be targeted, while other ships transiting the strait will still be permitted to pass.The decision follows 21 hours of negotiations in Pakistan that ended without an agreement to extend a fragile two-week ceasefire. Vice President JD Vance, who led the U.S. delegation, said Iran rejected demands to halt its nuclear ambitions. Pakistan, acting as a mediator, urged both sides to “uphold their commitment to ceasefire.”Elsewhere, Israel and Lebanon are set to hold talks in Washington this week, although continued strikes on Hezbollah-linked targets have raised doubts about the durability of any broader regional truce.



2. Oil climbs back above $100



Crude prices surged again on Monday, breaking back above the $100 per barrel level.Brent crude rose 6.7% to $101.65, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate gained 7.1% to $103.42.Despite the rally, analysts at Pepperstone said the market response had been “relatively contained,” with investors interpreting the blockade largely as a negotiating tactic.“I’d not be at all surprised to see risk assets remain underpinned to a degree, with continued hope that a deal can be agreed likely to continue to encourage dip buying, even as crude benchmarks are likely to grind steadily higher as physical supply tightens further,” said Michael Brown, Senior Research Strategist at Pepperstone.Oil had dipped below $100 last week following the ceasefire announcement, which itself came after Trump warned Iran’s “civilization” could be destroyed if the Strait of Hormuz was not reopened. Even so, prices have remained well above pre-conflict levels.



3. U.S. producer price data in focus



Rising energy costs have heightened concerns about inflation globally and how central banks may respond.This week, attention will turn to U.S. producer price index (PPI) data for final demand, which will provide a clearer picture of price pressures in March—the first full month reflecting the impact of the Iran conflict.Recent consumer price data already showed a sharp increase, driven largely by higher fuel costs. Energy prices jumped 12.5% year-on-year, compared with just 0.5% in February.However, core inflation—which excludes food and energy—came in softer than expected, at 2.6% annually and 0.2% month-on-month.Given this, analysts believe the Federal Reserve may not place excessive weight on the headline figures alone. The upcoming PPI release could offer further clues on how policymakers approach interest rates in the months ahead.“A stronger-than-expected [PPI] reading would reinforce the case for a ‘higher for longer’ rate outlook, likely supporting the dollar and leaving EUR/USD’s recent rebound vulnerable to renewed downside,” said Laurence Booth, Global Head of Markets at CMC Markets.



4. Bank earnings take centre stage



The U.S. earnings season gathers pace this week, led by results from major Wall Street lenders.Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) is set to report first, with its shares up around 3% so far this year. Trading revenues have been supported by portfolio repositioning linked to developments in artificial intelligence, while its investment banking division has also delivered growth.However, the Iran conflict may weigh on outlooks. While volatility can boost trading income, elevated commodity prices could discourage dealmaking activity such as mergers and acquisitions, potentially affecting advisory revenues.Other banks reporting include JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM), Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC), Citigroup (NYSE:C), Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) and Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS).Beyond banking, earnings are also expected from Netflix and PepsiCo.



5. European luxury sector results ahead



In Europe, attention will turn to the luxury sector, where several major groups are due to report.LVMH (EU:MC), owner of brands such as Louis Vuitton and Dior, is scheduled to release first-quarter sales, with geopolitical tensions likely to influence its outlook. Peers Kering SA (EU:KER) and Hermès (EU:RMS) are also set to report.According to Reuters, luxury sales in markets such as Dubai and Abu Dhabi have declined due to the conflict, weighing on the $400 billion sector.Elsewhere, ASML (NASDAQ:ASML) will report on Wednesday, with investors watching closely for updates on its ability to meet strong demand from artificial intelligence chipmakers.Goldman Sachs Group stock priceJPMorgan Chase stock priceWells Fargo stock priceCitigroup stock priceBank of America stock priceMorgan Stanley stock price

Original: Five key themes for markets in the week ahead

Markets edge lower as Hormuz blockade fears grow; Goldman Sachs earnings in focus: Dow Jones, S&P, Nasdaq, Wall Street FuturesApril 13, 2026 5:50 AM
IH Market News
Futures tied to major U.S. equity indices pointed slightly lower at the start of the week, as concerns over a potential U.S. naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and stalled negotiations between Washington and Tehran weighed on investor sentiment. Oil prices moved back above $100 per barrel, with markets increasingly uneasy about the durability of a fragile U.S.-Iran ceasefire. Meanwhile, earnings from Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) are set to kick off the U.S. reporting season, while LVMH (EU:MC) is also due to release results.



Futures drift lower



U.S. stock futures declined on Monday as investors reacted to renewed geopolitical risks following President Donald Trump’s warning that a blockade could be imposed on the Strait of Hormuz after weekend talks with Iran failed to produce a breakthrough.As of 03:28 ET, Dow futures were down 239 points, or 0.5%, S&P 500 futures fell 40 points, or 0.6%, and Nasdaq 100 futures dropped 168 points, or 0.7%. Markets in Europe and Asia also showed signs of weakness, while oil prices surged and the U.S. dollar strengthened.Wall Street had closed mixed on Friday, with investors taking a cautious stance ahead of high-stakes negotiations in Pakistan. Although a temporary two-week ceasefire was announced last week, uncertainty remains over whether it will lead to a lasting resolution.Investors also digested data showing a sharp increase in consumer prices in March, largely driven by rising fuel costs linked to the energy shock triggered by the conflict. Oil prices have climbed significantly since late February, when tensions with Iran escalated and tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz—through which roughly 20% of global oil flows—was effectively disrupted.



Trump signals Hormuz blockade



On Sunday, Trump said the U.S. Navy would launch an “immediate” blockade of the Strait to restrict shipping activity.He warned that any vessel paying fees imposed by Tehran would not be guaranteed “safe passage on the high seas.”Later, the Pentagon clarified that the restrictions would target ships “entering or departing Iranian ports or coastal areas,” while allowing other vessels to continue transiting the Strait.The escalation follows 21 hours of negotiations between U.S. and Iranian officials in Pakistan, which ended without an agreement to extend the ceasefire. Vice President JD Vance, who led the U.S. delegation, said Iran had rejected demands to halt its nuclear ambitions. Tehran has not immediately commented, though Pakistan—acting as mediator—urged both sides to “uphold their commitment to ceasefire.”



Oil climbs back above $100



Crude prices surged again on Monday, reclaiming the $100 per barrel level.Brent crude rose 6.7% to $101.65, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate gained 7.1% to $103.42.Despite the sharp move, analysts at Pepperstone said the market reaction had been “relatively contained,” suggesting that traders may see the blockade as a negotiating tactic.“While it’s clearly a risk-averse start to the trading week, […] the general market reaction can be summed up as ‘could be worse’,” said Michael Brown, Senior Research Strategist at Pepperstone.Oil had briefly dipped below $100 last week after the ceasefire announcement, which followed Trump’s warning that Iran’s “civilization” could be destroyed if the Strait was not reopened. Even so, prices remained elevated compared with pre-conflict levels.



Goldman Sachs results ahead



Attention now turns to earnings from major U.S. banks, beginning with Goldman Sachs’ quarterly results before the market open.Shares of Goldman have risen about 3% so far this year, supported by strong trading activity as investors reposition portfolios amid disruption from emerging artificial intelligence technologies. Investment banking revenues have also shown resilience.However, developments in Iran may overshadow the results. While volatility can boost trading income, sustained high commodity prices could deter companies from pursuing costly deals such as mergers and acquisitions, potentially weighing on advisory revenues.Other major banks set to report this week include JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM), Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC), Citigroup (NYSE:C), Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) and Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS).



LVMH set to report



LVMH (EU:MC), the world’s largest luxury goods company and owner of brands such as Louis Vuitton and Dior, is due to publish its first-quarter sales later today, with the Middle East conflict expected to feature prominently in its outlook.According to Reuters, luxury sales in key regional hubs like Dubai and Abu Dhabi have declined due to the ongoing conflict, impacting companies including LVMH as well as peers like Kering SA (EU:KER) and Hermès (EU:RMS).At Dubai’s Mall of the Emirates, luxury sales reportedly dropped by as much as 50% in March, while foot traffic at Dubai Mall saw a similar decline. In Abu Dhabi’s Galleria mall, overall sales were down by around 10%.Although the Middle East represents a relatively small portion of LVMH’s total revenue, analysts cited by Reuters suggest that the impact on profitability—reported on a half-year basis—could be more significant.Goldman Sachs Group stock priceJPMorgan Chase stock priceWells Fargo stock priceCitigroup stock priceBank of America stock priceMorgan Stanley stock price

CashPro App Usage Rises 20% as Clients Approve $38,000 in Payments Every SecondApril 8, 2026 11:05 AM
PR Newswire (US)

Driven by Bank of America's investments in mobile, AI, and security, the CashPro App is taking on a larger role in real-time treasury decision-makingKey pointsCashPro App enables real-time decision-making in any environment.Corporate and commercial clients increasingly rely on CashPro for high-value, high-volume activity.AI-driven insights are becoming a core part of treasury strategy.NEW YORK and LONDON and SINGAPORE and SÃO PAULO, April 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Bank of America today announced that its CashPro App has become an indispensable platform for corporate and commercial clients, attracting a record number of sign-ins and growing 20% year over year1. Last year, clients approved a record $1.2 trillion in payment value through the app—an average of $38,000 every second—underscoring the scale of activity and the app's integral role in day-to-day treasury operations across industries and geographies.



"The CashPro App has been our saving grace," said Daylon Bailey, Treasury Operations Manager of Highgate Hotels and member of the CashPro North America Board. "It helps me make decisions everyday – including whether to approve someone's access, or to release a wire. For payment approvals, I may not be near my laptop, but if I am expecting a payment that needs to go out, I can pull out my phone and quickly validate information without delay."The drivers of mobile adoptionSeveral converging dynamics drove the 20% year-over-year surge in CashPro App sign-ins."Mobile has moved from convenience to necessity—serving as a powerful companion to established treasury operations as clients navigate market volatility, evolving workforce expectations, and rapid advancements in mobile-native security and AI," said Jennifer Sanctis, CashPro Product Executive at Bank of America. "These forces are reshaping how treasurers work, and mobile has set itself apart by providing immediate access to information for critical decision-making in moments that matter."Demand for real-time visibility and AI-driven insights: The CashPro app delivers instant access into cash positions, balances, and – since November 2025 – Investment Grade Bond market data through Capital Markets Insights and its AI-driven Trade Evaluation Driver score helping finance teams assess market conditions and relative value directly from their mobile device.Adoption of biometric authentication via QR Sign In: Enabling a seamless, secure connection to CashPro Online and extending familiar consumer experiences – such as QR codes and biometrics – into high-value commercial banking workflows.Preference for push-based workflows over email: In-app push alerts and approvals via the CashPro Mobile Token provide stronger security and faster response times compared to traditional email-based notifications, which remain more vulnerable to spoofing."Clients have been clear about what they need from us—speed, resilience, and uncompromising security," said Winnie Chen, head of Global Payments Solutions APAC at Bank of America. "Their feedback, combined with a rapidly evolving industry landscape, continues to shape how we invest in the CashPro App—expanding mobile capabilities that give clients confidence to act quickly and securely, wherever their business takes them."More enhancements ahead for CashPro App usersLater this year, Bank of America will introduce new functionality to enhance the mobile experience, including:Redesigned Payment Approval that will further improve workflow.A new digital identity verification experience for corporate administrators. This update will build on the app's inherent cybersecurity protections and patented integrated mobile token.Frequently Asked QuestionsQuestion: What is CashPro?Answer: CashPro is Bank of America's flagship digital platform used by more than 35,000 companies around the globe to manage and monitor their payments, deposits, loans and trade transactions.  Through a single, unified experience, CashPro connects companies and institutions to one of the world's largest banking networks – helping them move faster, operate with greater control, and make smarter cash and liquidity decisions globally.Question: How does CashPro compare against peer offerings?Answer: For four consecutive years, the CashPro App has been the No. 1 ranked mobile application according to Coalition Greenwich.

Visa, Street Soccer USA and Bank of America to Bring Visa Street Soccer Parks to Every FIFA World Cup 2026™ Host City in the U.S.March 28, 2026 7:00 AM
PR Newswire (US)

With 75 days to go until the FIFA World Cup 2026™, Visa and partners expand community investment—bringing additional access to sport, education and opportunity to communities across the U.S.SAN FRANCISCO and CHARLOTTE, N.C., March 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Visa, the Official Payment Technology Partner of the FIFA World Cup 26™, together with national nonprofit Street Soccer USA and Bank of America, the Official Bank Sponsor of the FIFA World Cup 26™, today announced a significant expansion of Visa Street Soccer Parks, bringing a new park to every host city in the U.S. ahead of this summer's tournament.







Designed to serve communities at the neighborhood level, Visa Street Soccer Parks transform underutilized spaces into vibrant, accessible hubs for sport, learning and connection. As the tournament approaches, the expansion will bring community-driven infrastructure and programming to all 11 U.S. FIFA World Cup 26™ Host Cities, including new parks in Boston, Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, Philadelphia and Tacoma. This community-focused infrastructure investment reflects a shared commitment to harnessing the unifying power of sport to uplift local communities."With the FIFA World Cup™ just months away, we're shifting from preparation to execution," said Kim Lawrence, Regional President, North America, Visa. "This tournament is a global moment, but its legacy is built locally—in the neighborhoods that will host fans, families and the next generation of players. By expanding Visa Street Soccer Parks and supporting the local businesses and people who activate them every day, we're turning tournament momentum into meaningful opportunity that lasts well beyond the final match."Each park is custom designed to support meaningful, ongoing use by the communities it serves and features two professional grade Bank of America fields, lighting for extended play, learning centers and flexible gathering spaces. Programming is delivered in collaboration with community partners and tailored to local needs—supporting recreational play, academic enrichment, workforce readiness and community engagement."Communities are built on accessible opportunities for connection, healthy activity and growth," said David Tyrie, President, Marketing, Digital and Specialized Consumer Client Solutions at Bank of America. "These are more than just places to play; they are spaces where people of all ages can find common ground through the game of soccer, develop essential life skills and forge lasting bonds that strengthen our community fabric."Since opening the first park in San Francisco last year, the initiative is already demonstrating its impact on the ground with additional parks in Denver, Kansas City and New York City actively hosting youth and adult leagues, after-school academic support, financial education sessions and job readiness programming in partnership with local organizations. Previously announced parks in Nashville and Atlanta remain in development, with opening dates to be shared as planning is finalized."This is not about short-term excitement—it's about building something that lasts," said Lawrence Cann, Co-Founder and President of Street Soccer USA. "These parks are designed to create consistency and access, but more importantly, they belong to the communities that activate them every day.

Watson Links and Bank of America Partner to Expand Youth Golf Access and Mentorship through Golf with UsMarch 27, 2026 9:00 AM
PR Newswire (US)

KANSAS CITY, Mo. and CHARLOTTE, N.C., March 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Watson Links, the nonprofit youth golf mentoring organization founded by eight-time major champion Tom Watson, today announced a new partnership with Bank of America as part of Golf with Us, which aims to make golf more accessible while strengthening communities through the power of sport.



Established by Bank of America in collaboration with Youth on Course, Golf with Us introduces more young people to the game through affordable opportunities to play, instructional clinics and continued development, and local partnerships. In 2026, Watson Links will join the growing Golf with Us ecosystem by adding mentor-led golf experiences that help junior players build confidence, knowledge of the game and life-readiness skills alongside caring, vetted adult golfers.Through the partnership, Bank of America becomes Watson Links' Champion Partner, providing critical support that helps expand golf mentoring opportunities, fund new on-course experiences, and increase access to golf for kids and teens of all skill levels nationwide.Founded in 2021, Watson Links pairs junior golfers—typically ages 10–18—with adult golf mentors for nine-hole rounds designed to drive fun, teach golf etiquette, and develop important social and life-readiness skills. These free mentor-driven experiences help remove some of the barriers young players face—course access, cost, and lack of guidance—while creating lasting connections between generations of golfers."One of the best ways to learn something new—or master a skill—is with the help of a mentor," shared Tom Watson, founder of Watson Links. "Our partnership with Bank of America through Golf with Us will help give junior golfers more access and on-course opportunities. Playing alongside mentors will help develop life skills like confidence and resilience and a love of the game while fostering meaningful connections that benefit both juniors and adults."The key ingredient in Watson Links experiences are golf mentors —caring adults who bring encouragement, perspective, and real-world wisdom that apply both on and off the golf course. These rounds can benefit highly skilled junior golfers as well as those who are newer to the game. Golf mentors are players of all skill levels who share a passion for the game and serve as positive role models for the next generation. Adult golfers do not have to be major champions to make a major impact in their communities."Last year, Golf with Us helped nearly 100,000 young people – including many first-time golfers – experience the transformative power of the sport," said Michele Barlow, Head of Enterprise Marketing, Bank of America. "Together with Watson Links, we can increase access and opportunity for more young people while mentors integrate the valuable skills that drive success on and off the course."In 2025, 1,153 junior golfers and mentors participated in Watson Links mentoring rounds across 21 U.S. markets. In 2026, the organization will bring free golf mentoring experiences to thousands more young players.To learn more about where to find Watson Links or to get involved as a junior golfer or mentor, visit WatsonLinks.org.About Watson LinksWatson Links is a nonprofit youth golf mentoring organization founded in 2021 by eight-time major champion Tom Watson. The organization builds community and personal growth through golf mentoring. Watson Links works with local partners to create or strengthen programs that pair junior golfers ages 10–18 with vetted adult mentors. These on-course experiences build confidence, teach golf etiquette, and develop important life-readiness skills while helping remove barriers to the game. In 2026, Watson Links programs will span 55 markets nationwide, engaging golfers of all ages and skill levels in a growing mentoring movement through golf.Bank of America's Sports CommitmentBank of America serves as a Champion Partner of the Masters Tournament and has partnered with the Augusta National Women's Amateur since 2019.

U.S. bank stocks rise after Trump pauses Iran strikesMarch 23, 2026 10:04 AM
IH Market News
Shares of major U.S. banks moved higher Thursday after President Donald Trump announced a five-day suspension of military strikes targeting Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure.Citigroup (NYSE:C) led the gains, rising 3%. Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) and JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) each added 1.5%, while Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) advanced 2% and Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) climbed 2.25%.Trump said the U.S. military would delay additional strikes after what he described as “productive” discussions between Washington and Tehran. The announcement helped calm fears of a broader escalation in the Middle East that could disrupt global energy markets and weigh on economic stability.Bank stocks tend to be sensitive to geopolitical developments, particularly in regions that play a key role in global oil production. Rising tensions in the Middle East often trigger volatility in oil prices, which can influence economic growth and financial markets where banks maintain significant exposure.The decision to pause military action reduced near-term uncertainty for the financial sector, helping lift bank shares. Citigroup — which has a large international presence — showed the strongest gain among the major lenders.Citigroup stock priceBank of America stock priceJPMorgan Chase stock priceWells Fargo stock priceGoldman Sachs Group stock price

U.S. Soccer, Soccer Forward Foundation and Bank of America Launch 'Soccer at Schools' to Bring Soccer to Schools Across the U.S. by 2030March 23, 2026 10:00 AM
PR Newswire (US)

Initiative kicked off in Altadena, Calif., with special event, equipment donation and a soccer clinic with 500 students led by Sir David Beckham, Angel City FC star Sydney LerouxATLANTA, March 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. Soccer, through the Soccer Forward Foundation, and Bank of America today announced the launch of Soccer at Schools, an initiative designed to make soccer accessible to every school across the country by 2030.







Ahead of FIFA World Cup 2026™, Soccer at Schools aims to expand access to the sport by equipping educators, State Soccer Associations, community organizations, parents and more with resources that empower the entire soccer ecosystem with resources such as advocacy tools, PE activities, training, partner-supported programming, equipment and the Soccer at Schools Starter Kit.Recognizing soccer as one of the fastest-growing youth sports and an unprecedented opportunity for the sport over the next five years, Soccer at Schools addresses a number of critical equity gaps by:Increasing access to places to play: 67% of parks and recreation departments report they don't have enough sports fields, courts or facility space to meet demand.Helping recruit and train volunteers: 82% of community sports agencies report a shortage of volunteer coaches as a top challenge in delivering youth sports programs.Promoting physical wellness: Approximately 1 in 5 U.S. school-aged children are obese and roughly 71% fail to meet recommended physical activity levels."Soccer at Schools reflects the power of the soccer community in this country," said JT Batson, CEO of U.S. Soccer. "With 120 member organizations across all 50 states, U.S. Soccer is uniquely positioned to connect schools, educators and community leaders with the resources they need to introduce the game to young people. Through Soccer at Schools, we are using that national network to ensure the momentum of FIFA Men's World Cup 2026™ translates into lasting opportunities for students and communities across the United States, not just during the tournament, but for generations to come."Soccer at Schools aligns with Bank of America's Sports with Us platform, which is built on a philosophy and investment to inspire, connect and impact communities through sports.By leveraging the entire soccer ecosystem and working at scale with community organizations and school districts, the initiative creates vital opportunities to:Increase students' physical activity, movement, social connection and confidence-building.Spark interest among students who may later participate in after-school programs, local leagues and community clubs.Build a broader pipeline of players, coaches, volunteers and fans to sustain the growth of soccer in the United States by creating early touchpoints."We want the next generation to feel like soccer is theirs from the very first time they touch a ball, which means building a comprehensive approach to ensuring accessible, enjoyable and meaningful experiences for young people to play across the country," said Lex Chalat, Executive Director of the Soccer Forward Foundation, the legacy and social impact arm of U.S. Soccer. "Through Soccer at Schools, Bank of America and Soccer Forward are working to meet students where they are and make the game easier for educators and communities to bring to life. By equipping the entire soccer and education landscape with practical tools, training, and support, we can help ensure more young people experience the benefits of soccer while creating lasting impact in communities across the country.""Bank of America's Sports with Us platform is designed to strengthen communities in part through foundational programs that build stronger futures," said Michele Barlow, Head of Enterprise Marketing, Bank of America. "Through our partnership with U.S. Soccer and Soccer Forward, we're harnessing the transformative power of sport to cultivate well-being and empower the next generation."To celebrate the launch and showcase how Soccer at Schools comes to life locally, Bank of America and Soccer Forward Foundation will host a series of engagements at schools across the country featuring special guests, equipment donations and soccer clinics. The first activation took place at Odyssey Charter in Altadena, Calif., a community devastated by last year's Los Angeles wildfires, and featured appearances from Sir David Beckham – Bank of America's global sports ambassador – and Angel City FC's Sydney Leroux. The series will continue in Atlanta in March alongside the U.S. Men's National Team sendoff matches, and continue on to additional communities in Charlotte and Chicago. The official platform where community organizations, soccer clubs and schools can engage directly with the initiative to receive support will go live this summer.For images, videos and interviews of the event in Altadena, visit the soccer page in our Newsroom."For me, soccer isn't just about scoring goals; it's where I learned about grinding it out, working as a team and pushing through tough times. That's why the Soccer at Schools initiative from Bank of America and U.S. Soccer is so powerful," said Sydney Leroux, star forward for Angel City FC. "It's giving kids that same chance to build character and learn those crucial life lessons, while removing financial barriers to the sport.""Soccer has been the foundation of my life which started with incredible support at school and in my local community through well-trained coaches, volunteers, and access to facilities and equipment. Soccer at Schools is built on that very same approach - that all children should have the support and access they need to succeed. I look forward to seeing the impact that will be made for young people in their communities with this long-term programming announced today," said Sir David Beckham, Bank of America Global Sports Ambassador and Principal for a Day.Soccer at Schools represents one of the most significant youth access investments connected to the FIFA World Cup 2026™ legacy and is a key pillar of U.S. Soccer's efforts to make soccer the #1 sport played in every community. Through equipping and supporting people, places and programs across the country, Soccer Forward is increasing participation, enabling stronger community connections and improving youth health and expanded access to safe places to play.The initiative also reflects U.S. Soccer's role as a national convener capable of connecting educators, community organizations and soccer leaders across the country. By working with schools and local partners, Soccer at Schools helps ensure the momentum surrounding the FIFA World Cup 2026™ translates into lasting participation and opportunity for communities nationwide.To learn more about 'Soccer at Schools,' visit the Soccer at Schools page.

Original: BofA Teams with Visa to Offer Cardholders a Chance to Win a Trip to the FIFA World Cup 2026™

💰 How Bank of America Gets to $309 per Ounce
Bank of America’s metals strategist Michael Widmer uses a ratio-based model tied to gold.

Here’s the logic:

Step 1 — Assume Gold Near $5,000
This is the gold price BofA uses in its long-term model.

Step 2 — Apply Historical Gold-to-Silver Ratios
Two key historical ratios matter:

• 32:1 ratio
This was the low in 2011.
At that ratio, with gold at $5,000:
Silver = about $135

• 14:1 ratio
This was the extreme low in 1980 during the Hunt Brothers squeeze.
At that ratio, with gold at $5,000:
Silver = about $309

Step 3 — Silver Has Already Shown It Can Move Fast
Silver hitting above $120 recently shows the market can accelerate quickly toward those targets.

Step 4 — Volatility + Supply Tightness = Explosive Moves
Silver’s combination of:

Zelle® and Bank of America Partner to Accelerate Delivery of Charitable Donations to NonprofitsMarch 12, 2026 9:00 AM
PR Newswire (US)

Zelle launches innovation agenda to work with financial institutions to expand the way the popular person-to-person payment tool can be usedNEW YORK and CHARLOTTE, N.C., March 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Zelle® and Bank of America announce a first-of-its-kind application of Zelle to enable charitable disbursements from Donor Advised Funds (DAFs). The new capability allows nonprofits to receive charitable grant funding in near real time, replacing the traditional multi-week, paper-based process with fast and reliable digital payments using the Zelle network.







This new capability is part of Zelle® Forward, the network's innovation agenda. Zelle is working with financial institutions to explore ways to expand into new, practical use cases. Americans now send more than $1.2 trillion annually using Zelle and increasingly rely on it for everyday needs like rent and childcare.The new DAF proof of concept is being introduced through Bank of America's Charitable Gift Fund, the bank's donor advised fund, allowing donors to send charitable grants to a select group of nonprofit organizations via Zelle.1 The speed and security of this delivery could help transform how charitable dollars flow from routine, planned donations to urgent situations like natural disasters and community-level crises, helping nonprofits access resources more quickly when they are needed most.While the initial proof of concept is with Bank of America's Charitable Gift Fund, the goal is to support broader use by financial institutions that offer Zelle and have donor advised fund programs."Zelle is a staple of the American economy and Americans are ready for it to do more," said Denise Leonhard, general manager of Zelle. "Through Zelle® Forward, we are advancing practical new applications of the Zelle network, and this charitable grant delivery capability represents the first of many ways Zelle will continue to innovate and grow. By bringing the speed and reliability of Zelle to charitable grant delivery, we are helping funds reach nonprofits faster so organizations can stay focused on their missions."Bank of America's Charitable Gift Fund provides clients with an organized, flexible, and tax-efficient way to support the causes they care about. Donors can contribute a variety of assets, invest for potential long-term impact, and involve family members. In 2025 alone, the Charitable Gift Fund distributed more than 100,000 grants, totaling over $1.3 billion to nonprofits."For nonprofits, deploying their resources quickly and effectively matters – whether responding to community needs or scaling vital services," said Donald Greene, Donor-advised Fund Executive, Bank of America Private Bank. "By partnering with Zelle to develop this innovation, we're giving both donors and nonprofits a more modern and responsive way to take in and make use of charitable contributions. This advancement strengthens our clients' ability to support the causes they care about and accelerates the impact of nonprofits."Throughout 2026, Zelle will continue to explore additional innovations to help bring new capabilities to Zelle and deliver additional value across the American economy. Each program considers the evolving roadmap of the Zelle platform — ensuring innovation remains continuous, responsible, and aligned with real-world consumer needs.Zelle®
Zelle® powers fast, reliable person-to-person digital payments, moving more than $1 trillion between millions of consumer and small business accounts at United States banks and credit unions. Available through a network of more than 2,300 financial institutions, Zelle® enables people to send and receive money directly – without cash, checks or third-party apps.

U.S. Art Market Rebounds, Posting a 23% Increase in Auction SalesMarch 9, 2026 10:00 AM
PR Newswire (US)

Bank of America and ArtTactic Publish 2026 U.S. Art Market Report Highlighting Key Trends Reshaping the Art WorldU.S. Accounted for 69% of Global Auction Sales Value, Highest Share in More Than a DecadeKey FindingsU.S. auction sales at Christie's, Sotheby's and Philips rose 23% in 2025, totaling $3.17 billion, marking the first annual increase since 2022Second-half 2025 sales surged 54% year-over-year, reversing a weak start to the yearHistorical and blue-chip artists led the recovery, while Contemporary and Young Contemporary segments continued to correctNEW YORK, March 9, 2026  /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. art market regained momentum in 2025, with total auction sales rising 23% year-over-year to $3.17 billion, according to Bank of America's 2026 U.S. Art Market Report  in partnership with ArtTactic®. The increase represents the market's first annual growth since 2022, signaling stabilization after more than two years of contraction.







"What we saw in 2025 was not a return to speculation, but a return to discipline," said Drew Watson, Head of Art Services at Bank of America, serving Bank of America Private Bank and Merrill art collecting clients. "Major collections and estates came to market in 2025, which enabled collectors to focus on quality, provenance, and long-term significance. That shift helped stabilize the market and sets a healthier foundation for future growth."Selectivity and Quality Define the RecoveryFewer works, stronger outcomes: The number of lots sold declined nearly 20%, reflecting tighter supply and heightened selectivity from both buyers and sellers. At the same time, sell-through rates reached a three-year high, signaling improved alignment on pricing and expectations.Guarantees played a central role: The share of guaranteed value in New York Evening Sales climbed to 78% in 2025, the highest level of the past decade, suggesting risk aversion among consignors. Guaranteed lots outperformed their low estimates by more than 10%, a three-year high.Historical categories lead performance: Impressionist and Modern segments drove the rebound, while Contemporary and Young Contemporary categories continued to reprice.Women artists extend long-term gains: Sales of works by women artists rebounded after a dip in 2024 and are up 105% over the past decade. Women artists also outperformed men in resale returns.The West leads overall U.S. art spend: Anchored by California but spanning Washington, Arizona, and more — the West accounted for 35% of art purchases in the U.S."The art market has recalibrated," Watson added. "That recalibration favors long-term stewardship over short-term trading, which is key given the long-term view has historically been the most durable driver of value in art."About the 2026 Art Market ReportThe inaugural U.S.-focused report draws on Bank of America's proprietary art spend data, ArtTactic's market analytics, and economic insights from Bank of America's Chief Investment Office. Together, these sources provide a data-driven view of how Americans buy, sell, and value art across auction categories, regions, and price segments.Q&A: Understanding the U.S. Art MarketQuestion: What drove the 23% increase in U.S. auction sales in 2025?
Answer: The increase was driven primarily by a strong second half of the year, led by major single-owner sales, renewed demand for historical artists, improved sell-through rates, and supportive macroeconomic conditions.Question: Does this mean the art market has fully recovered?
Answer: Not yet. While sales rose in 2025, totals remain below 2021–2023 levels. The recovery is uneven, with strength concentrated in historical and blue-chip segments.Question: Which categories performed best?
Answer: Impressionist and Modern works led the recovery. Contemporary and Young Contemporary segments continued to experience price corrections.Question: How did guarantees affect the market?
Answer: Guarantees played a significant role in 2025, providing downside protection for sellers and helping bring high-quality works to market. The market is more reliant on guaranteed lots than ever, with share of guaranteed value in New York Evening Sales climbing to the highest level of the past decade at 78% in 2025.Question: What is the outlook for 2026?
Answer: Bank of America's Art Services Group anticipates a stable environment with potential for continued growth, supported by resilient high-income consumer spending, a lower interest rate environment and wealth creation and transfer — though risks remain from market volatility and economic uncertainty, with particular vulnerabilities apparent in the market for Young Contemporary artists and the small- to mid-tier galleries that support them.Bank of AmericaBank of America is one of the world's leading financial institutions, serving individual consumers, small and middle-market businesses and large corporations with a full range of banking, investing, asset management and other financial and risk management products and services.

BofA Invests Nearly $40 Million into American Workforce Skills in 2025February 26, 2026 10:02 AM
PR Newswire (US)

As Many As 86,400 Placed in Jobs & 265K Upskilled through Strategic Local Partnerships CHARLOTTE, N.C., Feb. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- In recognition of Career and Technical Education Month, Bank of America today announced it invested nearly $40 million in 2025 in workforce development initiatives, partnering with more than 100 universities and community colleges and over 600 nonprofit partners across all its U.S. markets.







These workforce development partners estimate the bank's investments last year alone contributed to approximately 86,400 individuals getting connected to livable-wage jobs and provided 265,000 people with access to training, education and career readiness programs designed to position them for long-term career success."Career and technical education are critical to building strong local economies," said Meghan Hughes, Head of Workforce Development at Bank of America. "These investments reflect our long-standing commitment to creating pathways to lasting success for people across the country. Employers need skilled workers and we're proud to partner with so many organizations that are preparing the next generation of talent for today's jobs and the careers of tomorrow. This work is a powerful demonstration of how we can drive American economic growth and prosperity—together."These partnerships and investments are central to Bank of America's broader workforce development strategy, which emphasizes skills-first hiring and aligns training opportunities with market needs. By closely partnering with employers, workforce boards, colleges and nonprofits, the bank is helping to close skills gaps and address talent shortages across key industries in regions where workforce demand is highest, from healthcare fields to advanced manufacturing, technology and more.Examples of BofA investments include:In Central Florida, Second Harvest Food Bank's Culinary Training Program is a 16-week continuing education opportunity offering adults the culinary and life skills training needed to pursue a full-time career in the food industry, which has rising demand for workers.Houston-based NextOp works with enlisted service members and veterans each year across Texas and other states to translate their military training and experience into qualifications for civilian careers and help place them into jobs with higher starting pay.Taft College in Bakersfield provides paid hands-on internships with regional healthcare providers across Kern County, an area having chronic shortages of nurses and other healthcare professionals with its Pre-Nursing Internship program.Nearly 60 nonprofit organizations receiving Bank of America support will also take part in leadership training designed to strengthen organizational capacity and help these partners scale their impact through BofA's Neighborhood Builders® program.In addition to grant funds, BofA provides employee volunteerism and its Leader on Loan program placing talented leaders to work fulltime with workforce development organizations and other nonprofits for 12-18 months. Through collaboration with postsecondary institutions and local nonprofit partners, these efforts help ensure more Americans can access career-relevant education and connect to quality employment opportunities.Bank of America's commitment to workforce development is part of its broader mission to fuel economic mobility and strengthen communities nationwide.Bank of America
