Investment banks are projected to log approximately $259 billion in trading revenues for 2025 — their strongest performance since the global financial crisis. This uptick is largely driven by heightened market volatility, increased derivatives activity including zero-day options, and robust demand in prime brokerage services. Equities trading is expected to generate nearly $94 billion, while fixed income, currency and commodities desks also posted meaningful gains. The surge highlights how turbulence can fuel profits in market-making operations, even amid broader investor caution. However, analysts warn that the same volatility that powers earnings could at some point trigger sharp reversals or liquidity strains.
