• JPMorgan smashed it out of the park thanks to growth in one huge business

  15-10-2016 22:46 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  JPMorgan kicked off earnings season for banks on Friday and crushed it.
  The firm beat analyst expectations across investment banking and trading — and had a historically strong quarter in one business in particular.
  In fixed-income trading, JPMorgan reported revenue of $4.33 billion for the quarter — up 45% from the same quarter a year ago — smashing analyst expectations for $3.17 billion. The beat was driven by higher revenue in rates, credit, and securitized products, the fir

• JPMORGAN: We've had problems like Wells Fargo — but they're not 'systemic' (JPM, WFC)

  15-10-2016 20:43 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  JPMorgan has encountered some of the cross-selling issues that have recently plagued Wells Fargo — but it's nothing "systemic."
  That's according to chief financial officer Marianne Lake, who said on a call following third-quarter earnings that JPMorgan is conducting a deep-dive investigation following the news about its competitor.
  In September, Wells Fargo paid a $185 million settlement with regulators over accusations its employees wrongly opened as many as 2 million accounts in customer

• A high-speed trader published a brutal takedown of a new plan to slow down trading — and it's the start of Wall Street's next battle

  15-10-2016 20:40 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  Another war of words looks to be developing on Wall Street.
  The Chicago Stock Exchange in August outlined plans to adopt what it calls a Liquidity Taking Access Delay, a 350-microsecond delay for those who trade against resting orders on the exchange. The Chicago Stock Exchange said in the filing that the LTAD was designed to neutralize high-speed traders engaged in latency arbitrage.
  Latency arbitrage is where traders take advantage of price disparities between the same or related securities on

• Wall Street's star dealmaker Ken Moelis on what's driving today's M&A, hiring millennials, and what he really meant to say about Donald Trump

  15-10-2016 19:39 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  For Ken Moelis, small — and specialized — is beautiful.
  "I've never seen a Michelin three-starred restaurant that was a buffet," the CEO and founder of Moelis & Company said shortly after we sat down to chat late last month.
  What he is describing is the provision of advice to companies on big-ticket acquisitions, and the practice, common at megabanks, of wrapping that in with all sorts of other services. Moelis, who was just named No. 45 on Bloomberg's list of the most influenti

• Wall Street's most important business is bouncing back

  15-10-2016 17:38 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  The crash of fixed income, currencies, and commodities trading has been Wall Street's never-ending story.
  Over the past few years, revenue has plunged, traders have been fired, and business lines have been shuttered.
  But for at least a moment, that pressure seems to have abated.
  On Friday, both JPMorgan and Citigroup reported a knockout quarter in the business in the third quarter.
  For its fixed-income unit, JPMorgan reported revenue of $4.33 billion for the quarter — up 45% from the same

• Elections and the stock market: History tells us economics matter more than politics. Could it be different this time?

  15-10-2016 14:04 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  Predicting what will happen in the stock market is hard.
  Nope, scratch that. It's pretty much impossible.
  But in light of the looming November vote, we took a look at what happened in the markets over the past few decades in relation to US presidential elections.
  However, before we get to that, we would like to emphasize that when it comes to markets, the past does not predict the future.
  And so we are not making any predictions here about what will happen on the morning of November 9, 2016, or

• A tectonic shift just occurred in a $2.65 trillion investment industry

  15-10-2016 12:00 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  On Friday, money market funds underwent a huge shift in how they will be regulated, resulting in a sea change for the $2.65 trillion money market fund industry.
  Let's recap quickly. Money market funds are mutual funds that invest mostly in short-term assets such as US Treasurys and short-dated corporate bonds with maturities under one year. These funds are generally thought of as safe, but yield low returns.
  The net asset value [(market value of all of its shares - fund's liabilities) / number o

• This infographic shows how the effects of economic sanctions are a mixed bag

  15-10-2016 06:11 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  Despite ongoing debates about their effectiveness, economic sanctions remain widely used in international affairs. They're viewed as a tool to further national security, antiterrorism, anti-weapons proliferation, and other foreign-policy goals.
  But the effectiveness of a sanctions regime depends on many factors, including how it is imposed, what it covers, and what its goals are.
  In the infographic below, Norwich University's Online Master of Arts in International Relations has laid out the basi
