the Iran conflict, which is good for traders, and then also M&A activity.
We saw some records there.
As far as volumes go, in the first half of the year, we saw the highest levels, both in the U.S.
and globally, for M&A activity.
There were some concerns that higher gas prices would pressure consumers, but they've been pretty resilient.
We saw consumers continue to spend on cards, and we also saw delinquencies actually improve from a year ago at these big banks.
And J.P.
Morgan actually dismissed this idea of the K-shaped economy that a lot of executives have been talking about the past year plus.
And this is the idea that the bottom half of the income spectrum has been doing a lot worse, or certain pockets of it have been.
JPM actually said across income segments it saw continued spending, low loan delinquencies.
So that was a very good sign.
But the bank executives also talked about risks.
All of them had this acknowledgement that the good times don't always last.
And this was a very strong quarter, but we still have this conflict going on in the background.
It's very uncertain.
The Bank of America CEO noted that that could weigh on market perception, on IPOs.
Jamie Dimon pointed to deficits and other risks in addition to inflation.
And then, you know, you do have businesses and executives and clients who are still exercising some caution out there because of all of these uncertainties, despite these strong surface level numbers.
