While you’re sipping coffee you’ll see US stock futures were flat on Monday at the start of a data-packed week, including a crucial inflation reading to determine if the Federal Reserve is succeeding in curbing rising prices.

Here’s a look at the top-moving stocks this morning.
PacWest Bancorp (Nasdaq: PACW)
PacWest Bancorp was up 32.47% in premarket trading and pulled up several regional bank stocks after announcing a cut in its quarterly dividend from 25 cents to 1 cent to accelerate capital. PacWest cited economic uncertainty, recent banking sector volatility, and potential changes in regulatory capital requirements as reasons for the cut. The bank also confirmed it is exploring strategic alternatives, which could include a fresh capital increase or the breakup of its Pacific Western Bank franchise from its other consumer and commercial lending businesses. PacWest had scrapped plans to raise capital in March and noted last week that 75% of its $28.2 billion deposit base fell within the FDIC’s protection threshold.
With the Federal Reserve likely pulling back interest rates for the foreseeable future and inflation cooling off, there’s still time to take advantage of a rare opportunity we haven’t seen since 2007.

Occidental Petroleum Corp. (NYSE: OXY)
Shares in Occidental Petroleum Corp. dropped 0.49% in pre-market trading after Warren Buffett announced that Berkshire Hathaway Inc. would not make an offer for full control of the energy group, tempering speculation that he was seeking to own the company. However, Berkshire didn’t rule out buying more of Occidental’s stock, given that it is already the company’s largest shareholder, owning a 24% stake. Occidental Petroleum Corp.’s shares have dropped 3.7% this year through Friday’s close amid a slump in commodity prices, and fell as much as 3.4% in early trading before paring losses to 1.5%.
Those are the biggest stock movers for today.
Happy trading!
