JPMorgan Falls 1% as Treasury Rescue Fails to Calm Bonds
JPMorgan Chase (JPM) fell 1.0% to $353.71 as Treasury yields rose to 4.69% for 10-year and 5.22% for 30-year bonds, despite the Treasury's expanded bond-buyback program. The bank reported strong Q2 results with markets revenue up 35%, investment-banking fees up 30%, and equity-markets revenue up 86%. However, the stock is trading 12.82% above its GF Value estimate, potentially leaving little room for disappointment.
