The Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA) share price is sliding today, down 2.62% to $102.74 per share.
It's not just the CBA share price in the red, though.
The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) gave up its earlier gains around lunchtime and is currently down 0.69%.
The other big 4 banks are all losing ground today as well. The Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Ltd (ASX: ANZ) share price, as one example, is down 1.08%.
That's today's share movements.
Moving ahead, in news that's unlikely to have any material impact on the CBA share price today, the bank this morning reported on the record pace of its migration to the cloud.
