The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 94 points, or 0.4%, to 25,019, per the AP. The Nasdaq composite edged up 2 points to 7,825, and the S&P 500 index rose 3 points to 2,801. Banks slumped after quarterly earnings from JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup failed to impress investors, and Wells Fargo dropped after fallout from its fake account scandal continued to weigh on its earnings.
