Citigroup (C), UBS (UBS), Barclays (BCS), JPMorgan (JPM) and RBS (RBS) will pay a total $5.6 billion in fines. Higher oil prices were pulling the airline sector lower. Southwest Airlines (LUV), American Airlines (AAL), JetBlue (JBLU), United (UAL) and Delta (DAL) were all trading in the red on Wednesday.
