The 5 largest U.S investment banks generated $11.4 billion in total FICC (fixed income, currencies and commodities) trading revenues over Q1 2016 – 26% lower than what they made a year ago. The global FICC trading industry has witnessed poor activity levels for three consecutive quarters now, and the trend is unlikely to improve over Q2 2016. While the boom seen in the FICC trading business before the economic downturn is not likely to recur any time soon due to stricter regulations, overall improvement in global market conditions should boost these revenues over the second half of 2016.

These five banks usually account for between 30-40% of the global FICC trading revenues for any given quarter.
