Bank stocks lead Wall Street higher

Yahoo Finance

The Trump rally is back on, for now. Stocks are higher across the board with financials taking the lead as Wall Street digests economic data including retail sales and a batch of bank earnings, including reports from Bank of America (BAC), Wells Fargo (WFC) and JPMorgan Chase (JPM).

Here are some of the top stories the Yahoo Finance team is covering for you today.

Big bank report cards
Investors are diving into a batch of big bank earnings, including JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo and Bank of America. There’s lots of attention on what effect rising interest rates will have on bank profitability as well as industry hopes that a Trump administration will role back regulations that have cut into bank earnings.

Tesla’s charge for charging
Tesla (TSLA) will start charging new customers to use its Supercharging stations if they exceed about one thousand miles a year. Tesla said the fee would be about $15 for a trip between San Francisco and Los Angeles and about $120 to go from Los Angeles to New York. Is it fair to charge new customers while let existing customers continue to charge with no fees? Why now?

Robots taking jobs
A report from McKinsey estimates that half of all the tasks people do at work could be automated using current technology. But the study says only 5% of jobs can be entirely automated. But the range of time when this will take place is huge—anywhere from 20 years before or after 2055. Why is there so much uncertainty about the pace of change and disruption?
