Among financial stocks moving on news:
(+) Royal Bank Of Canada ( RY ) was narrowly higher in afternoon trading. A FINRA arbitrator ruled in favor of an 80-year-old former secretary who accused the bank's brokerage unit of allegedly taking advantage of her, the retiree's attorney said in a statement. The retiree was awarded all investment losses plus interest, attorneys fees and arbitration filing fees, the Mark Tepper law firm said without disclosing the actual size of the award.
