Big banks are facing a major question mark as they look towards the future: where will growth come from next year? Unlike regional banks that rely solely on lending and deposits, global Wall Street banks have the advantage of diverse revenue sources, including trading and corporate advisory fees. While volatile interest rates can deter acquisitions, they can also provide a boost for trading desks. However, the challenge lies in finding opportunities for lending growth.
