Goldman Sachs has posted a near-60 per cent rise in third-quarter profit from a year ago, adding to evidence of an unusually bright quarter for the big Wall Street investment banks.On Tuesday morning the New York-based bank said its net income for the July-September period came to $2.1bn, 58 per cent higher than a year earlier
JPM FICC profits rose by 48%. Citi, BofA saw FICC profits rise by 33%.
