GOLDMAN SACHS AND JPMORGAN INVESTMENT BANKING PROFITS SOAR
US stock indexes were set to rise on Wednesday following positive earnings reports from investment banks.
JPMorgan Chase & Co and Goldman Sachs Group Inc both beat analysts’ expectations for first-quarter profit.
Goldman saw its overall investment banking revenue jump 73% to $3.77 billion, the highest amount seen since 2010. The bank managed to effectively capitalise on record global investment banking activity, which Refinitiv data showed as reaching an all-time high of $39.4 billion in the March quarter.
