    JP Morgan is expecting volatility from the trade war unleased in April to drag down investment banking revenues in the second quarter but to boost trading. Investment banking fees in the April–June quarter are on track to be down “mid-teens [percent] – plus or minus” compared with a year earlier, depending on how the remainder of the quarter plays out, said Troy Rohrbaugh, co-CEO for the commercial and investment bank.
