The firm’s trading desks had a great showing and soaring investment banking fees adds to the more upbeat results across the board. JPM CEO, Jamie Dimon, reflects on that in saying there is a “strong underlying performance across our businesses”.
On the economy, he adds that he believes “the economy could have a period of multi-year growth” and remarks that “consumer spending has returned to pre-pandemic levels”.
That’s a good way to kick things off in earnings season with more financial institutions to report through to the end of the week.
