​

  • Trading, which was stronger earlier in the year, also turned weaker. Citigroup’s revenue from that business fell 13%. JPMorgan’s revenue associated with trading equities and fixed income also dropped. “Most of the investors stayed on the sidelines” during the second quarter, Fraser said.
  • Citigroup’s corporate and investment banking unit, which helped push overall profits at the bank down 36%. Investment banking revenue fell by 24% in the second quarter, to $612 million. It wasn’t just Citigroup, though. Even JPMorgan, which churned out massive profits in its consumer business, saw investment banking fees fall by 6% from a year ago, to $1.5 billion.
