JPMorgan's Lake steps down as CFO effective May 1, will head consumer-lending platform
JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s CFO Marianne Lake is scheduled to step down as the bank's top financial officer after about seven years in the role, effective May 1, the bank said in an internal memo Wednesday afternoon. She will become head of all of the company's consumer-lending operations. The 49-year-old executive will be replaced as CFO by Jennifer Piepszak, JPMorgan's current CEO of card services. Lake was appointed CFO and member of the bank's operating committee back in 2012, and has been viewed by industry watchers (and still is) as a possible successor to CEO Jamie Dimon, when he steps down. Dimon said of the planned change: "We're extremely fortunate that she will be heading a major group of businesses that is core to how we serve millions of Chase customers." Lake will remain a member of the bank's operating committee and become CEO of consumer lending, which will include the bank's credit card, home and auto loan businesses. Meanwhile, Piepszak, 49, is a more than 20-year veteran at JPMorgan Chase. Shares of JPMorgan, the nation's largest bank by market cap, finished Wednesday's session up 2.8% and have gained 17.1% so far this year, with that rise aided by better-than-expected results from the bank last week. JPMorgan's stock performance has thus far outperformed the broad-market S&P 500 index , which is up 15.7% year to date, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average, where it is a component, which has returned 13.4% over the same period. Corrections and amplifications: Fixes the ages of both Piepszak and Lake, which was incorrectly stated in an earlier version. Both executives are 49 years old.

GLOBAL MARKETS-Stocks skid as healthcare plunge obscures China rebound
Stocks around the globe fell on Wednesday as a continued flight from healthcare shares dragged on Wall Street, overshadowing upbeat economic data from China. The S&P 500 dipped as the healthcare index dived 2.9% to erase its year-to-date gains on continued fallout from concerns about potential changes to U.S. policy, including a "Medicare for All" proposal by Senator Bernie Sanders. The decline in U.S. stocks weighed on MSCI's 47-country world index, which was buoyed earlier by better-than-expected Chinese data showing the country's economy grew 6.4% in the first quarter.

Herman Cain says won't quit bid for Fed seat: report
Herman Cain said Wednesday he had no plans to withdraw from consideration for a seat on the Federal Reserve Board, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal. While President Donald Trump has not sent Cain's nomination to Capitol Hill, several Senate Republicans have already said they would not support him. That means the former CEO of a pizza company, and candidate for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012, would need support from Democrats to be confirmed. Cain said the Fed needs "new voices."

Stocks end slightly lower, pulled down by health care sector
Stocks ended slightly lower Wednesday, with a selloff in the health care sector offsetting corporate earnings as investors paid little heed to unexpectedly strong Chinese economic data. The S&P 500 ended with a loss of around 7 points, or 0.2%, near 2,900, according to preliminary figures, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average edged around 3 points lower to finish around 26,450. The Nasdaq Composite edged down around 4 points, or less than 0.1%, to end near 7,997. Health care was the worst-performing sector in the S&P 500, falling 2.9% and turning negative for 2019, down 0.9% year to date. The sector-tracking Health Care Select Sector SPDR ETF declined 2.7% Wednesday and is off 0.7% so far this year. Analysts have tied weakness in the sector in part to the political climate, including calls for lower drug prices and a "Medicare for All"-type health insurance overhaul.
