Goldman reports dismal second-quarter earnings

But Lehman Brothers sees a healthy 23% rise in fixed-income trading revenues

Second-quarter earnings results from Goldman Sachs fell considerably short of expectations in June as volatile markets drove investors away and depleted trading revenues, particularly in the bank’s fixed-income, currency and commodities (FICC) division.

Second-quarter earnings for the bank as a whole were down 43% on the first quarter and 27% lower year-over-year. Trading revenues in FICC slid a massive 39% from the first quarter’s strong performance.
