NEW YORK, Dec 6 (Reuters) - The biggest U.S. banks are bracing for a worsening economy next year as inflation threatens consumer demand, according to executives Tuesday. "Those things might very well derail the economy and cause this mild to hard recession that people are worried about," he said. Consumers have $1.5 trillion in excess savings from pandemic stimulus programs, but it may run out some time in mid-2023, he told CNBC. Major banks' shares fell sharply on the day after a lineup of top bankers outlined the risks for the economy. "Economic growth is slowing," Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon said at the same conference.
JPMorgan reported a 17% drop in third-quarter profit to $9.74 billion, although that was less than had been feared. Banks set aside more money in preparation for a hit from a potential economic slowdown. While investment banking and investment management were impacted by the market environment, he said fixed income and equity divisions "navigated challenging markets well." Morgan Stanley's earnings showed that investment banking revenue more than halved to $1.23 billion with declines across the bank's advisory, equity and fixed income segments. Corporations' interest in mergers, acquisitions and initial public offerings dried up, particularly hitting banks strong in investment banking.
