P.M. Edition for Dec. 12. Leaders of JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Citigroup shared numbers that show that their banks’ Wall Street operations are on track to have one of their best years ever. WSJ Wall Street editor David Benoit discusses what’s driving it. Plus, in an interview with The Wall Street Journal, President Trump says he’s considering Kevin Warsh or Kevin Hassett to lead the Federal Reserve starting next year.
