We exclusively report that UBS has received a license to offer full-service banking in the U.S.
The Americas are already the Swiss bank's biggest region for wealth management, and UBS hopes that adding checkings and savings account services will help attract new customers in the U.S.

And turning to the food industry, fast food restaurants have been struggling with the rising cost of beef, but they're still serving up discounts.
Federal data shows beef prices are up 48% over the past 12 months at the wholesale level, and those prices are expected to stay high.

And the combination of more discounts with higher costs only increases the pressure on fast food companies' profit margins.
