(Reuters) – Morgan Stanley reported a 9 percent drop in quarterly profit on Wednesday as equities and bond trading fell due to low market volatility.

The bank said earnings attributable to common shareholders fell to $2.34 billion, or $1.39 per share, in the first quarter ended March 31, from $2.58 billion, or $1.45 per share, a year ago. https://mgstn.ly/2vaVd4I
