The lower revenues are a result of trading that has “normalized” from exceptionally high levels last year, when the pandemic was in full force, the executives said on Tuesday at a virtual investor conference held by Barclays (LON:BARC).

Citigroup CFO Mark Mason and JPMorgan operating committee member Marianne Lake said their equities business had performed better than fixed income.

With two weeks left in the quarter, the executives noted that the results could change before they post final numbers in mid-October.
