Bank of America Corporation and JP Morgan Chase & Co. opened higher on Wednesday in tandem with the S&P 500, but selling pressure entered just after 9:35 a.m., when Newsweek released an exclusive report stating a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine was likely within 48 hours.
Both stocks have been trading in a downtrend since Feb. 10 when Bank of America reached a new all-time high of $50.11 and JPMorgan a high of $159.03, declining about 10 percent and 5 percent, respectively, since that date.
