On the news front, Morgan Stanley reported Q2 EPS of $3.46 on July 15, beating the consensus estimate of $2.89 by approximately 19.7%. Net revenue reached $21.35 billion, up 27% year-over-year, significantly exceeding the $19.6 billion estimate. Equity trading revenue surged 69% YoY to $6.3 billion, a quarterly record driven by elevated market volatility and strong activity across Asian markets including Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, and India.
