that's leslie.to go here to leslie's point, earnings next week, the rubber meets the road next week, earnings and inflation data. >> the cpi is again more important, you could have looked within the jobs report and said that there actually were dovish elements in there, wage growth wasn't running away, doesn't seem as if the job market even at 4.1% unemployment is a real driver of upside inflation. that's a good thing. and then earnings, if we're anywhere in the zone of the expected double digit growth pace year over year, even though it is not equally distributed among all companies, it is tough to see the market really falling apart if you have that confirmation that the estimates are somewhere in the ballpark. i think that's where people are trying to anchor to right now. again, i think it is much more about, you know, yields, not just as competition for stocks, but yields as pressure on parts of the economy, goods producing, home building, that is susceptible to a little bit of more downside as

our senior banking and finance reporter, leslie picker, is here as well. leslie, let's just pick up on the reverberations this is causing thus far. >> yeah, there are definitely some reverberations. this is an issue that kind of came to the forefront back in april of 2024. you had a group of 15 attorneys general who sent a letter to bank of america basically saying and alleging discriminatory practices against certain clients who were dropped due to political and religious affiliations. if we want to take a step back here. banks do drop customers. oftentimes those customers are not given a reason. so you had these 15 attorneys general kind of write this letter citing some specific examples and saying that was not in accordance with the law, which prohibits discrimination for banks and doing businesses and issuing and offering credit to a variety of customers. now, bank of america at the time responded to those allegations and said specifically that the customers that they had cited, some religious customers, were dropped for reasons that didn't have anythi
