Global Banks Forecasted to See 10% Trading Revenue Boost Amid Tariff-Driven Volatility

Global banks—including major players like JPMorgan, Bank of America, and Citigroup—are expected to benefit from a 10% increase in trading revenue, driven by heightened market volatility caused by new tariffs between the U.S. and other major economies. Price fluctuations in financial assets such as bonds and equities have created an ideal environment for banks to capitalize on market movements.

As tariffs and international trade policies remain a source of uncertainty, banks have ramped up their efforts to seize the opportunities that volatility presents. This has led to increased investment in more aggressive trading strategies, potentially helping banks sustain their profit margins in the short term.
