JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon said the bank had “temporarily suspended share buybacks” after the Fed hit it last month with a higher capital requirement.

Higher revenues from lending amid rising interest rates as well as robust earnings from trading from volatile markets failed to offset a slump in dealmaking. Mr Dimon said the global economy was dealing with “two conflicting factors” of a strong US jobs market and consumer spending, counterbalanced by geopolitical tensions, high inflation, waning consumer confidence, quantitative tightening and rising rates.
JPMorgan lifted its target for net interest income for 2022, excluding its markets business, to more than $58 billion, from more than $56 billion previously.
