JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup, Wells Fargo and Bank of America have all reported this week. A chance to measure the US recovery through the performance of these huge financial companies. So far the signs are good with JP Morgan Chase posting a 5.6 billion USD Q3 profit, a bank that's clearly getting over the huge legal costs it was having to swallow and returning to profit after a 380 million USD loss a year ago. 

Citigroup posted profits of 3.4 billion USD, a rise of seven percent. Wells Fargo saw a $5.7bn profit for Q3, up 1.7% on the same period last year. Only Bank of America saw profits plunge, to 168 million USD; having been hit with a 5.3 Billion legal charge related to the mis-selling of mortgage securities. 

Serge Berger gives us a mid-week update with his initial thoughts on the performance of the bigger US banks and offers his trading tips for those who think it's now safe to get into the banking sector.
