JPMorgan shares tumble on widening 3Q losses
JPMorgan shares fall after bank reports widening losses related to mortgage debt in 3rd qtr
NEW YORK (AP) -- Shares of JPMorgan Chase & Co. tumbled Tuesday after the bank said it has heaped more losses in its mortgage investments so far in the third quarter than it did in the previous three-month period.
In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission late Monday, the bank said turbulence in the credit markets has caused it to lose about $1.5 billion, after hedges, in its mortgage-backed securities and loans to date in the July-to-September quarter.
That's more than the $1.1 billion in losses JPMorgan incurred in its investment bank's portfolio during the second quarter.
The news set off fresh concerns about the scope of the troubles in the credit markets and the overall health of the financial sector.
