This comes amid a high Fed funds rate environment, beneficial for net interest income but challenging for banks. Goldman Sachs reported a significant increase in non-interest revenue, while JPMorgan Chase, despite a double beat in earnings, did not impress Cramer. The iShares U.S. Financials ETF (IYF) saw a decrease in its last session.
