Class action filed against SVB parent company
A class action suit accuses SVB Financial Group CEO Greg Becker and CFO Daniel Beck of not disclosing risks from rising interest rates. The case, filed in the Northern District of California, seeks unspecified damages for investors who bought SVB between June 16, 2021, and March 10, 2023. It alleges 2020–2022 annual reports understated rate hike risks and exposure to a bank run.

EPA proposes first federal limits on toxic PFAS in drinking water
The EPA would set a 4 parts per trillion limit for PFOA and PFAS, regulate four other PFAS types jointly, and require water providers to monitor. The rule aims to cut PFAS exposure for nearly 100 million Americans, with final rules due by year end after public comment. Experts caution compliance will pose cost and rate impacts.
