Key Highlights

These guys delivered a 7% increase in net interest income with 70% growth for their Markets business.
That’s fantastic.
That’s mostly sales and trading… These are amazing, but the investment banking business came in light, down 5% year-over-year and 11% from the previous quarter.
That weighed down by weakness in both debt and equity underwriting, and that was just plain bad.
Of course, even when the numbers are pristine, the reaction to JPMorgan’s earnings hinges on the conference call commentary from CEO Jamie Dimon, who’s become the almost Confucius-like figure for the financial industry.
