A new survey conducted by IntraFi found that nearly three-quarters of bank executives say a recession is here or imminent, and tariffs now rank among their top three economic concerns.

A federal judge has ordered a staff member of the Department of Government Efficiency and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's top lawyer to appear at an evidentiary hearing next week.

House Financial Services Committee ranking member Maxine Waters, D-Calif., led a group of Democrats in challenging Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent over the current state of the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund.

Federal Reserve officials want to see how exactly new trade policies impact the U.S. economy before adjusting interest rates. Markets and monetarists have different ideas about what that might look like.

Fears of a recession intensified after President Trump unveiled his plan to impose a minimum 10% tariff on all U.S. imports, and the KBW Nasdaq Bank Index tumbled by nearly 10%.

The Trump administration continues to battle the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's union by seeking a stay of a preliminary injunction that reinstated the CFPB's workforce and contracts and preserved its data.
