Wells Fargo says the impact from sanctions put on the bank after a wave of customer account scandals could reduce its profit this year by as much as $400 million. Wells Fargo is replacing four board members and won’t be able to grow beyond the $1.95 trillion in assets it held at the end of 2017, after agreeing to a consent order with the Federal Reserve on Friday after markets had closed. The bank opened millions of customer accounts without authorization over a period of years.

The Institute for Supply Management reports its survey of service companies such as hotels and banks hit a 13-year high in January of 59.9. Employment activity set a record. While new orders hit its highest level since 2011. Fifteen of the 17 industries tracked said business expanded.
