On September 16, Wells Fargo fell 3.07% in regular trading, trading at $86.925/share, with turnover of $5.93 billion. The decline was driven by the Federal Reserve's decision to raise interest rates by 25 basis points — the first hike in over three years — sending the diversified banking sector broadly lower.

The rate hike triggered a sector-wide selloff, with U.S. Bancorp down 4.16%, Nu Holdings down 3.80%, Bank of America down 3.18%, Citigroup down 2.87%, and JPMorgan Chase down 1.31%. The move effectively reversed gains from the prior session, when Wells Fargo CFO Mike Santomassimo delivered multiple upbeat signals at the Barclays Global Financial Services Conference — including better-than-expected Q3 net interest margin, full-year loan growth likely exceeding prior guidance, no visible shift in default trends, and mid-single-digit year-over-year growth in market revenue and trading activity. Despite those positive fundamentals, the macro headwind from renewed monetary tightening weighed heavily on bank valuations across the board.
