US stocks fell at Wednesday's open on worsening economic data and falling oil prices. Follow live updates:

From CNN Business' Anneken Tappe) first-quarter earnings report continued the trend for banks so far: a drop in profits and a shoring up of reserves ahead of expected coronavirus-related loan losses.

“Our earnings for the first quarter were significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. We managed our expenses with discipline and had good revenue performance as the economic shocks caused by the pandemic weren’t felt until late in the quarter," said Citi CEO Michael Corbat. The bank reported net income of $2.5 billion in the first three months of the year, compared with $4.7 billion in the same period in 2019.

Just like its peers, many of which also report earnings this week, Citi built up reserves to protect its business against loan losses during the coronavirus crisis. The bank allowance for loan losses stood at $20.8 billion -- or 2.9% of total loans -- at the end of the first quarter, which was $8.5 billion more than in the prior year.

Revenue climbed to $20.7 billion, up from $18.6 billion in the first quarter last year. Citi attributed this increase to higher revenues in its fixed income and equity markets groups, as well as mark-to-market gains on loans hedged in its corporate lending portfolio.

How do we keep the stocks up with everything going on?

Trump's failed economy.

They fell because it is now clear that democratic governors are going to drag their feet re-opening the economy. Political resistance not public health.

And it looks like we are back to Obama's stock market era

Stocks falter after their biggest week since 1974Stocks are opening lower on Wall Street following the biggest week for the market since 1974. Duh. We’re in the Great TrumpGOP Depression! This is as bullshit a lede as I have ever read, the “biggest week” was in the middle of a goddamned avalanche of stock values, it has been years since the market had its current value. Anyone thinking they're going back to values 4 months ago is going to have to wait a loooooong time.
