The 5 largest U.S investment banks generated $7.1 billion in total equity trading revenues over Q1 2016 – 13% less than what they made a year ago. While the first quarter of a year is usually the best period for the global equity trading industry, continued weakness in the oil industry resulted in a slump in equity trading activity this time around. With strong U.S. economic indicators improving investor sentiments over recent weeks, equity trading revenues are expected to trend higher in Q2 2016.
