Futures and Banks look to be up today.
The Federal Reserve is still on track to raise its benchmark interest rate by a quarter point next week, despite the second and third-biggest bank failures in history.

Some think the Fed may pause at the next meeting. I wouldn’t count on that though.
U.S. futures are higher, European stocks are mostly higher and Asian markets ended lower.
