Traders work at the JPMorgan Chase & Co. booth on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange in New York.
Traders work at the JPMorgan Chase & Co. booth on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange in New York., the world's biggest investment bank, said that first-quarter trading revenue would probably fall by a"high-teens" percentage amid a slew of difficult factors, according to Daniel Pinto, head of the firm's corporate and investment bank.
The bank's currency and emerging markets debt traders had a tough comparison to a robust 2018 first period, Pinto said Tuesday in a presentation during the bank's annual investor day. Further, the bank's equities desks had a"slow start," he said. And overall, there was"weaker client activity," meaning that the bank's hedge fund and corporate clients weren't as keen to place bets, he said.
Excluding a one-time $500 million gain last year due to a change in accounting rules, the decline in trading revenue would be in the"low teens" percentage, Pinto said.
