alison: there are some things that helped it that may not be sustainable. we will have to see what happens with the yield curve. if it stays inverted, could there be downside to the net interest margin? the other positive was better market revenue, so that is a positive, but it is still down significantly from a year ago. the good news is that april is looking more constructive. vonnie: after the seven or eight hours of hearings with some of the major ceos in front of congress, the only thing that came out of it was a question for jamie dimon on his minimum wage. did anything else emanate from those hearings? alison: there was a lot of politicians expressing their views, leverage lending concerns came up. that is nothing new. banks talking about mortgage, something jp my -- something jamie dimon talked about in his letter. we want to talk more about that as we are going into the next presidential election cycle. either more calls to do more on mortgages, the one product that, since the crisis, still tight over the long term? we have seen less listening in r

there's oertel that is alison mentioned. psychoanalyzing the president and saying things like the white house gave full cooperation, yet you read mueller's report and it says that the president's responses were completely insufficient. at every turn, william barr is slanting things towards the president. i do not think he has the independence and credibility that you need from the united states. >> abby, the president must be delighted with his new attorney general. >> yeah. he is. i think that he has every right to be. yesterday morning before the barr press conference, we were talking about the converse of the comey press conference would be that instead of sort of saying all this derogatory stuff about someone you're not going to charge, you exonerate the person without representing the information in the report about what happened. i think that's what barr did. he went out there and gave a press conference that -- where it seems that the intention was to present only the information that seems favorable to the president

alison: solid quarter.h, interest margin better-than-expected, about asverall expected. equities about in-line, a little light. that matches what we've seen with other peers. the improving loan growth on the commercial side is a positive. posit growth slowing is in line with industry trends. isdeposit growth slowing in-line line with industry trends. i think some solid deposit growth is better for the industry outlook, and that is one thing we will be listening for on the call in terms of the net interest income guidance. lisa: it was a pretty good report, beat estimates. as an investor, what are you looking for to say stocks of financials are a buy from here? the bullish scenario from financials is you continue to get decent economic growth in the u.s. at 2.5%. then you really need to see yields firm up. i think that is going to go to overseas markets, and china improving, which is going to improve europe, which will move rates higher in should our move rates -- should move our rates higher. the net intere

alison: correct. the consensus was they would have some releases.hing specific going on, or are they seeing broad weakening? alix: and also is it specific. jp morgan talk specifically about things it needed to have provisions for. it wasn't an overall credit quality conversation, but company or loan specific. alison: it could be something related to sometimes commercial things are lumpy, not seeing anything specific yet, but i will take a few minutes to get through the release. david: we are joined on the telephone by david george of bear. you had a couple minutes now to go over these numbers. >> not too different from alison. in general from what we are looking for, but the key to the story is is what we get from a new ceo, whether major strategic changes you see from a expense or capital return perspective, et cetera. on a core basis, at least on first glance, this looks ok, and credit was good. the name looks a little light, although i'm guessing there's some one-time issues related to that, but on balance, a stable quarter out of wells is a good

alison: for morgan stanley, the pipeline might be a little more important. some of the issues that bank of torica and wells fargo have relate to sort of the much bigger lending businesses, parts of their portfolios that are invested in longer-term bonds, so there is reinvestment risk. that is part of the reason they are bringing down the guidance. we are going to be looking at deposit pricing at morgan stanley. we've seen pricing coming up on the wealth side and deposit growth as well, but the trading business, the equity trading business, they earn more from that then any of the other global peers. david: we want to turn to paul richards now. are we snatching defeat from the jaws of victory here? these banks are beating on earnings-per-share, but we passed that to move on to interest income a bank of america. did 30 years in investment banking, and i think you are seeing these banks are waking up after a really tough first quarter, and that overhang of the fourth quarter that was pretty rough. are seeing a lot of things in the making. volatility is probably

alison: part of it is the environment.dman had a very strong rebound in the first quarter of 2018. if you look at this quarter, pretty much across we are seeing declines. goldman a at better-than-expected beat in fixed income trading, same at citigroup. both coming in a little weaker on the equity side. for goldman sachs, the question areht be on equities, they losing share in certain businesses? we don't get worried when it is a one quarter trend. it looks like j.p. morgan is gaining share on the equities trading side, whereas goldman is coming in a little bit weaker. guy: does goldman sachs want to be j.p. morgan? clearly in some ways it would, but i am curious as to how markets are going. they also were talking about this rollout of wealth management division, which they will run alongside it. it is starting to feel like a different goldman sachs than the one we used to know. pivot: it is definitely a , and an interesting time in the cycle to be making that pivot. goldman has been the most committed to its institutional

alison: it is two things, the environment and the execution.jp morgan over the last several years. we think they will continue to execute, but we think a little bit about the environment and where we are in the cycle. that goes to the loan growth i mentioned, coming in a little bit light. is that because they are keeping high quality underwriting and the cycle, looking out two years to what that will mean for the credit cost? we will look to see continued share gains in the investment bank, and gaining share from competitors. we will not know until all the results are in how much is jp morgan and how much as share gains, but so far so good with the numbers coming in. francine: jamie dimon talked about the leverage loan market maturing rapidly. what does that mean? alison: it is a source of concern for the investment banks, something investors are looking at as well as fixed income investors, looking at that market. there has been rapid growth in financial services. where there is rapid growth, there tends to be problems. for the banks themselve
