Last month, Apollo Chief Economist Torsten Slok even outlined a possible bank run scenario caused by AI.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If every household used AI agents to optimize the return on their cash balances, banks could lose a large share of the cheap deposits they rely on to make loans,&#8221; Slok wrote. That would &#8220;be a problem for the entire financial system.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Some banks faced higher deposit costs last quarter, but that&#8217;s amid the backdrop of surging Treasury yields, according to StreetAccount.<\/p>\n<p>Bank stocks were hit by concerns over AI agents last month, just as shares of Meta were rising as its Muse app topped the app download charts.<\/p>\n<p>But over the longer term, banks will develop their own agent interfaces, insulating them from the threat, Bank of America analyst Ebrahim Poonawala said in an Oct. 4 note.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Investors continue to inquire about the potential for agentic AI to disrupt banking deposits, fees, margins and customer acquisition,&#8221; Poonawala wrote. &#8220;While the timing and magnitude remain uncertain, one implication is becoming clearer: banks may increasingly need to build for the agent, not just the customer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Hugh Son<\/p>\n<p>Oura&#8217;s shelved IPO raises questions about Wall Street&#8217;s deal outlook<\/p>\n<p>Tom Hale, chief executive officer of Oura Health Oy, wears an Oura Ring during an interview in San Francisco, California, US, on Friday, June 14, 2024. <\/p>\n<p>David Paul Morris | Bloomberg | Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2026\/07\/14\/goldman-sachs-and-jpmorgan-chase-are-emerging-as-ai-winners.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">booming deals and trading environment<\/a> that powered Wall Street this year slowed down in the third quarter, but by how much, and for how long?<\/p>\n<p>Those are the questions analysts will have for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/quotes\/GS\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Goldman Sachs<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/quotes\/JPM\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">JPMorgan Chase<\/a> after a string of high-profile IPOs were put on hold in recent months, including the listing of smart ring maker <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/legal\/transactional\/oura-delays-us-ipo-adding-fall-market-jitters-2026-09-29\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Oura<\/a>, which cited uncertain market conditions as its reason for delay.<\/p>\n<p>Global investment banking revenue in the third quarter fell 6.6% from a year earlier to $27.2 billion, thanks to declines in closed mergers and debt issuance, according to Dealogic data.<\/p>\n<p>But the slowdown is far from uniform across Wall Street.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/quotes\/BAC\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bank of America<\/a> CEO Brian Moynihan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2026\/09\/14\/bank-of-america-bac-q3-investment-banking-fees.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">warned in September<\/a> that third-quarter investment banking fees were headed for a decline of more than 10%, while trading revenue will be roughly flat.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/quotes\/C\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Citigroup<\/a> expected to do a bit better: CFO Gonzalo Luchetti told analysts at the same conference that investment banking is tracking for &#8220;low-single-digit&#8221; revenue growth, while trading revenue was heading for &#8220;mid-single-digit&#8221; growth.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, JPMorgan co-President Doug Petno told analysts last month that both investment banking and trading revenue were headed for a percentage jump in the mid-to-high teens, showing that the boom continues at some banks. <\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Hugh Son<\/p>\n<p>The breakdown of segment revenues expected for Citigroup<\/p>\n<p>According to consensus metrics from StreetAccount, Citigroup is expected to report $4.31 billion in revenue for its fixed income markets division.
