4. Visa Pares Tuesday's Losses After DOJ Antitrust Suit

Visa (V) shares are edging higher in premarket trading after sinking 5.5% Tuesday as the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) sued the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:payment processing giant over allegedly 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:monopolistic behavior aimed at 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:protecting its dominant position in the debit card market.

Beijing said it is investigating PVH Corp.

PVH shares are rising less than 1% in premarket trading.
