  According to CNBC, "Refinance activity has been falling steadily since the rate rise early last summer. Applications to refinance fell 5 percent last week [March 31 April 4] from the previous week and are now at their lowest level since the end of 2013."

  As investors look for more than just the bottom line, increased pressure is building on banks that will present their earnings next week -- namely Bank of America (NYSE: BAC  ) on Wednesday and Citigroup (NYSE: C  ) on Monday. As a component of the Dow, B of A is not helping the index this morning, down by 1.3% so far. But both of these banks have done something that the other two didn't have to -- rebuild after the financial crisis.

  Most industry insiders probably wouldagree that Jamie Dimon is the best, or at least in the top few, banking CEOs out there, even after the London Whale issues. A recent effort from shareholders tried to split the role of chairman and CEO from Jamie Dimon. It failed as a shareholder vote, but you canbe almostcertain that the effort will come back up again next year. Citigroup Inc. (NYSE: C) even came out of the woodwork on the split chairman and CEO role, saying that the split role seems to work very well for Citigroup. For years Citigroup hashad serious J.P. Morgan envy, but that was simply free press for Citigroup.

  Notably, both JPMorgan andBank of America (NYSE: BAC  ) spent substantially more time talking about customers than they did about profits and losses. Comparatively, Citigroup (NYSE: C  ) offered less verbiage around customers and focused more on the bottom line. Perhaps we could chalk this up to the notion that B of A has beaten Citi to the punch in terms of moving on from crisis cleanup to growth initiatives.
