JPMorgan's Q4 Earnings Drop to $13 Billion Due to Apple Card Deal

JPMorgan Chase's fourth-quarter earnings decreased to $13 billion, primarily due to a one-time charge related to its agreement with Apple for issuing credit cards through Goldman Sachs. However, excluding this charge, the bank's earnings rose to $14.7 billion, supported by strong trading performance. CEO Jamie Dimon stated that the U.S. economy remains resilient, with the labor market cooling but not deteriorating, and consumers continuing to spend. The deal with Apple is expected to strengthen JPMorgan's presence in the credit card sector, while the bank has forecast $2.2 billion in credit losses for the fourth quarter.
