Separately, Brookfield Asset Management ( BAM ) and Brookfield (BN) will acquire the remaining 26% of common equity interest in Oaktree they don't already own for about $3 billion, resulting in 100% ownership of the company, Brookfield said. Shares of Brookfield and Brookfield Asset Management ( BAM ) were up 3.9% and 3.5%, respectively. Bloom Energy ( BE ) shares were up nearly 30%.

JPMorgan Chase ( JPM ) said Monday it will make direct equity and venture capital investments of up to $10 billion as part of a new 10-year, $1.5 trillion plan to facilitate, finance and invest in industries "critical" to US economic security.
