Wall Street Bonuses Are Poised to Rebound: Banking Industry Monitor
Welcome to Bloomberg's Banking Industry Monitor. Every Thursday we'll deliver you the top news of the global banking industry with emerging trends, winners and losers and market opportunities.

Equity traders are likely to be especially blessed, perhaps with 30% increases, but the same can't be said if your remit is retail and commercial banking.

Jane Street has said it did nothing wrong. UBS meanwhile is paying the price for something it didn't do — about $300 million for missteps inherited from Credit Suisse. Donald Trump figured in more than a few banking developments this week, with tariffs putting a damper on US bank results in Europe. The president meanwhile was chatting with Big 6 bankers about a potential public offering for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — even while asserting that two, including JPMorgan Chase, had refused to do business with him in the past. It wouldn't be for lack of branches; Chase opened 1,000 new offices in the past seven years, for a total of nearly 5,000. — Rick Green The following was produced with the assistance of Bloomberg Automation.
