JPMorgan Chase sees higher profits
NEW YORK, Apr 13: JPMorgan Chase reported a jump in first-quarter earnings Friday, lifted by higher interest rates and revenue growth in core businesses. Net income for the first quarter was $8.7 billion, up 35.1 per cent from the year-ago period. Revenues increased 10.3 per cent to $28.5 billion. The biggest US bank by assets saw increases in revenues in all its major divisions due in large part to higher interest rates, which enabled JPMorgan to increase its profits from the spread between its deposits and loans. In corporate and investment banking, JPMorgan notched higher advisory fees, offsetting a drop in debt and equity underwriting fees. — AFP
