Meanwhile, Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan reported that credit quality is fine and loan balances for small businesses are stable. He also noted that middle market investment banking is growing at a double-digit pace and that the bank can continue its stock buyback program. Moynihan mentioned that if their capital increases by 10%, it could prevent them from making $160 billion in loans. He also acknowledged Warren Buffett's role in stabilizing the company. Bank of America sees investment banking revenue of nearly $1.2B in Q3 and expects Q3 trading revenue to be up in the low single-digit percentage range compared to last year.
