PNC Sinks, Pulling Down Wells Fargo and Others

PNC Financial (PNC) told attendees at a Morgan Stanley financials conference today that it will be buying back more bad mortgages on increasing demand from homeowners, Marketwatch reported.

The news sent PNC shares down 3%, and appeared to be weighing on other banks with large mortgage exposures. Wells Fargo (WFC) was down about 0.2% even as most other large banks were trading higher. SunTrust Banks (STI) was down 0.5%.

Bank of America (BAC) and other firms are also expected to deliver presentations at the conference later today.
