The biggest Wall Street banks just smashed profit records thanks to a massive boom in trading and dealmaking. JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, and Citigroup all blew past expectations, proving the financial engine is running hot despite broader market worries.

## Idea

JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, and Citigroup all just reported record-breaking trading revenues, showing that Wall Street is thriving on market volatility. When major banks post blowout earnings, their stocks typically enjoy a momentum pop as analysts upgrade their forecasts for the coming quarters. The broader market might be jittery, but the pure profit numbers from these trading desks provide a clear, fundamental catalyst to buy the banks.
