Early Lunchtime Links: As of yesterday, Q4 redundancies look a lot more likely

The longer they're mulled over, the less pretty JPMorgan's second quarter investment banking results become.

Net income at the investment bank was down 16% year on year and the FT's Lex column points out that every single business line, except equities, made lower revenues than it did the year before.

Lex concludes, therefore, that bankers are going to have to work a lot harder for their money in future, and postulates that, 'With not enough client business to go round Wall Street, something - probably headcount - has to give.' Unfortunately, this seems about right, although more colour will be added by BofA and Citigroup this afternoon.
