| 15:04 EDT | | WFC | Fed says large banks must submit midyear stress tests on July 5
Eighteen large U.S. bank holding companies are required to submit the results of their company-run, midyear stress tests to the Federal Reserve on July 5, the Federal Reserve said. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act required that large bank holding companies and non-bank financial institutions that are designated for Federal Reserve supervision by the Financial Stability Oversight Council conduct two stress tests each year. In the midyear test, which is being conducted for the first time in 2013, each firm develops its own baseline, adverse, and severely adverse scenarios to best reflect its individual operations and risks. Each firm in the midyear test is required to release the results produced under its severely adverse scenario, helping promote market discipline and understanding of the financial conditions and risks of individual firms, between September 15 and September 30, the Fed added. |

| 10:49 EDT | | AA | Cliffs Natural rallies after analyst raises stock to Outperform
Mining company Cliffs Natural (CLF) is climbing after FBR Capital analyst Mitesh Thakkar upgraded the stock to Outperform from Market Perform in a note to investors earlier today. WHAT'S NEW: After meeting with Cliffs' management, Thakkar is more convinced that the company can use various methods to offset declines in iron ore prices. Specifically, Cliffs Natural can reduce its spending on various initiatives, and sell assets to raise cash if necessary, the analyst contended. In addition, there are signs that China's iron ore imports could increase, while Cliffs' stock has slumped 49% this year, making its valuation attractive, the analyst wrote. Thakkar kept a $28 price target on the shares. TODAY'S PRICE ACTION: In mid-morning trading, Cliffs gained 85c, or 4.3%, to $20.75. OTHERS TO WATCH: Other metal producers rose slightly, with Alcoa (AA) adding 0.75% to $8.70, BHP Billiton (BHP) gaining 0.4% to $67.80, and Freeport McMoRan (FCX) gaining 0.75% to $31.40. |
