Subject of emergency alert message arrested - May 2, 2024 | SaltWire #dartmouth #update #suspectPARIS - French bank Societe Generale reported a better-than-expected 22% slide in first-quarter net income on Friday, as profits on equity derivative sales offset more weakness at its retail bank and in fixed-income trading.
Helped by euro zone interest rates remaining higher for longer than expected, many European banks have beaten expectations for the first-quarter, and some have raised profit targets for the year. SocGen's investment banking division saw its earnings jump 26.4% to 690 million euros, beating forecasts, while revenues weakened 5.1% to 2.62 billion euros for the quarter.
This offset a 17% fall in sales from trading in fixed income and currencies, underperforming the average of Wall Street firms and French rival BNP Paribas. Deutsche Bank delivered a 7% rise in fixed income and currencies trading revenue.
