Bank of America closed down 15 cents, or 1.1%, at $13.05; Citigroup closed flat at $2.97; and Morgan Stanley lost 15 cents to $28.36.

In earnings news, General Mills(GIS Quote) reported its fourth quarter on Wednesday morning, with earnings of $358 million, or $1.07 a share, up from 53 cents a share in the same quarter last year and beating analyst estimates for 81 cents a share.

And the newspaper business took another hit with reports that publisher Gannett(GCI Quote), due to declining revenue, will cut up to 2,000 more jobs .
