The economy many people experience, while bleak, is local, personal and, for the most part, either not publicly traded or plays only a small part in the stock market’s moves. To explain why these personal experiences have so little effect on equity markets, we must look more closely at the market role of the weakest industry sectors.

  • Wells Fargo Update

  • The bank had a net loss of $2.4 billion in the second quarter, or a loss of 66 cents a share, worse than the 20 cents a share loss expected by analysts surveyed by Refinitiv.

  • Revenue of $17.8 billion was also weaker than analysts’ $18.4 billion estimate. 

  • The bank also announced a new quarterly dividend of 10 cents a share, a deeper-than-expected reduction in its payout that may indicate the bank’s pessimism about the coming year.

  • Shares of the San Francisco-based bank fell.
