JPMorgan is B-a-a-c-k! Erases Stock Drop Fueled by London Trading Loss

The bank’s stock climbed 3.7 percent to $41.40 yesterday in New York, eclipsing the $40.74 closing price of May 10, when Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon announced what was then a trading loss of about $2 billion at the chief investment office in London. The loss this year now stands at $5.8 billion.

JPMorgan slid as much as 10 percent the day after Dimon, 56, disclosed the loss, the most in more than three years, and closed as low as $31 on June 4.
