Stock market today: Stocks stay steady after bank failure

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:40:20 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — The latest historic U.S. banking failure made few waves in markets, and stocks drifted Monday as Wall Street braces for what it hopes will be the last hike to interest rates for a long time. The S&P 500 was virtually unchanged after regulators seized First Republic Bank and sold off most of it in hopes of preventing more turmoil in the industry. It dipped 1.61, or less than 0.1%, to 4,167.87. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 46.46, or 0.1%, to 34,051.70, and the Nasdaq composite fell 13.99, or 0.1%, to 12,212.60. First Republic has been in the spotlight for nearly two months on worries it could be next to topple following March’s failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. The worry was that runs on smaller- and mid-sized banks could take down the economy, like the financial industry’s woes during the 2008 crisis did.

85% of Mexican union contracts weren’t voted on by workers

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:40:20 GMT

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico’s Labor Department said 85% of the country’s 140,000 officially registered labor contracts are in danger of being canceled because they failed to meet Monday’s deadline to have union members vote on them.Under labor reforms that helped win renewal of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada free trade agreement, starting in 2019 Mexico told unions with registered contracts they had to submit the labor pacts to secret-ballot votes by workers within four years.The small percentage of contracts meeting Monday’s deadline reflects what Mexican officials acknowledge has been the longstanding practice of labor leaders in negotiating contracts with little or no worker input to ensure wages are low so they can keep factories in Mexico.Only about 20,000 contracts complied and were confirmed by votes as of May 1, 2023, the deadline for doing so. The Labor Department said the remaining 120,000 will be nullified, unless those unions have scheduled votes between now and July 31. Tha...
