American banks are busy this week reporting earnings for the first half of 2024. While many of the nation’s largest banks, including JP Morgan, Wells Fargo, and Citigroup shared their results on Friday, Goldman Sachs was the first to report following the assassination attempt on former U.S. President Donald Trump over the weekend.
Kicking off an earnings call where he announced growth in Goldman's global banking and markets and asset wealth management sections, CEO David Solomon told investors he was grateful the former President was safe and offered condolences to the families of those who were killed, calling the assassination attempt a sad moment for our country.
