The chief of the world's largest money manager believes the intensifying climate crisis will bring about a significant reallocation of capital "sooner than most anticipate."

"Climate change has become a defining factor in companies' long-term prospect,' he said. "But awareness is rapidly changing, and I believe we are on the edge of a fundamental reshaping of finance."

Schumer, one of the Democrats most supportive of Trump's crackdown on China, previously accused the president of caving to Beijing with the phase one trade deal. Trump and Chinese officials are due to sign the initial trade deal Wednesday, with hopes of starting talks on the next phases this year.

Visa is buying Silicon Valley start-up Plaid in a deal worth $5.3 billion. Plaid's software, often referred to as the "plumbing" behind fintech companies, lets start-ups connect to users' bank accounts. It's well-known among financial technology developers, but the average person interacting with it most likely wouldn't recognize the name. High-profile Plaid customers include popular peer-to-peer payment app Venmo, mobile investing app Robinhood and cryptocurrency exchanges Coinbase and Gemini. Goldman Sachs, also an early investor, was the exclusive advisor on the deal, according to a person familiar with the negotiations.
