Energy trading helps JP Morgan post record results

Energy-trading revenues played a big role in bringing JP Morgan a 2005 third-quarter net profit of $2.5 billion, up from $1.4 billion in 2004. This was on the back of third-quarter net revenues of $15.6 billion, up from $13.6 billion in the same period last year.

Trading was the main contributor to the results. Trading – or fixed-income markets – revenues hit a quarterly record of $2.4 billion, up $1.6 billion from 2004 and $1.8 billion from the previous quarter. Energy trading, an area of significant investment, was particularly strong, says the bank.

Fixed-income markets posted an operating profit of $1.1 billion, up $436 million, or 70%, from $627 million in 2004, and up 75% from the previous quarter.
