Whereas the financial institution expects to be within the “ballpark” of the 2024 goal for NII of about $91.5 billion, the present estimate for subsequent yr of about $90 billion “is just not very affordable” as a result of the Federal Reserve will lower rates of interest, JPMorgan president Daniel Pinto stated at a monetary convention.
