JPMorgan Chase reported a 6% rise in Q3 profit to $15.31B, but earnings ($5.57/share) and revenue ($50.17B) missed estimates. Trading and investment banking activity slowed, while consumer banking revenue grew 9%. Shares initially dropped but later gained 1.87%. CEO Jamie Dimon warned of economic risks like inflation and rising rates.
