1. The UK has triggered Article 50. Prime Minister Theresa May sent a letter to the European Council's president formally requesting a breakaway from the European Union.
2. Oil prices edged higher on Wednesday, adding to overnight gains after data showed that U.S. crude supplies rose less than expected last week, easing concerns over a global glut. Crude oil inventories increased by 867,000 barrels in the week ended March 24.
3. The attorney general of Massachusetts announced a $22 million settlement with Santander Bank on Wednesday over the bank's subprime auto loan securitization.
