Banks were notable underperformers, with declines in American Express (NYSE: AXP), Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS), and JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM) weighing down the Dow. The latest release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics initially pushed stocks higher. Regional banks were also largely lower, although that reflects the longer-term concerns hitting the industry regarding the impact of interest rate increases over the past couple of years.
