Dodd-Frank

Big banks' flirtation with the idea of suing the Federal Reserve Board over its stress testing regime carries significant political risk and even if successful could yield at best a pyrrhic victory over the megabanks' primary regulator.

House Democrats made an unusual move this week to avoid offering amendments or engaging in debate over a massive financial reform bill. Here's why.

Kentucky district court judge rules that the courts cannot interfere with the GSE regulator's wind down of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

The Federal Reserve's annual stress testing regime violates federal administrative law, a coalition of banking groups said in a white paper released Thursday, likely previewing a court battle that could have far-reaching consequences for the program.

With the risk-taking culture at big banks — including that which contributed to the Wells Fargo fiasco — it's a good thing the House bill to weaken Dodd-Frank will never become law.

New recommendations by the Federal Reserve Board are a crucial step in the direction of much-needed restructuring of the U.S. financial sector.

Chairman Jeb Hensarling's financial reform bill was approved by the Financial Services Committee along mostly party lines as Democrats declined to offer amendments to legislation they said was too flawed to begin with.

While the retail lobby won in the political arena and successfully decreased its costs through price-fixing, the biggest loser in this situation was the American consumer.

Regulators, analysts and investors are likely to take a thorough look at other banks' cross-selling tactics following Wells' settlement with federal agencies for illegally enrolling customers in products and services.

In a speech in Washington on Monday, JPMorgan Chase Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon said that political divisions between Republicans and Democrats are keeping the country from solving solvable common problems and reaching its economic potential.
