加拿大皇家銀行表示,大型銀行第一季在資本市場表現強勁。

-- 加拿大皇家銀行資本市場(RBC Capital Markets)週四在一份發給客戶的報告中指出,受諮詢和股票交易業務強勁增長的推動,美國主要銀行第一季資本市場收入超出預期。 據該券商稱,摩根大通(JPM)、美國銀行(BAC)、花旗集團(C)、高盛(GS)和摩根士丹利(MS)的資本市場總收入年增近20%。 RBC表示,其中高盛的諮詢收入成長最為顯著,達到68%。投資銀行服務費總額較上年同期成長31%,主要得益於股票資本市場的成長。 RBC全球金融研究聯席主管杰拉德·卡西迪(Gerard Cassidy)在報告中表示:“諮詢收入的增長主要歸功於2025年宣布的大型交易在(2026年第一季度)完成,而股票資本市場收入則受益於後續發行和可轉換債券發行的增加。” 該股交易上漲約26%,其中花旗集團表現最強勁,摩根大通漲幅最小。 卡西迪表示,五家銀行的固定收益、外匯和大宗商品業務總收入成長了10%。除高盛外,其餘五家銀行的固定收益、外匯和大宗商品業務均實現了同比增長。 據該券商稱,考慮到宏觀經濟和地緣政治的不確定性,各家銀行對近期投資銀行業務持「謹慎樂觀」態度。 美伊之間為期兩週的停火協議即將到期。白宮對與德黑蘭達成協議持樂觀態度,並指出第二輪談判可能在巴基斯坦舉行。先前在伊斯蘭堡舉行的和平談判已於上週末結束,但未能達成協議。 卡西迪表示:“許多投資銀行指出,(第一季)積壓訂單充足,我們認為在市場波動性較小的環境下,這些訂單可以變現。” “然而,經濟不確定性和市場波動性持續的時間越長,這些公司就越難增加其投資銀行業務的收入。”
