It is not worth ignoring the banks' requests, otherwise data on Israeli accounts and cards will be received by the Federal Tax Service as part of an auto-exchange of information, financial advisers warn.

"A new wave of all-time highs": why JPMorgan expects the S&P 500 rally to continue

The section of Donald Trump's budget bill that provides for the possibility of raising taxes for individuals and companies from countries with "discriminatory" tax policies is unlikely to destabilize the U.S. bond and stock markets, according to a Barclays analyst.
