Morgan Stanley witnessed a significant profit increase as market volatility benefited its trading desk, mirroring positive results from other Wall Street firms in the second quarter.

Market fluctuations driven by U.S. tariff announcements caused investors to reposition portfolios and hedge risks, boosting Morgan Stanley's trading business revenue, particularly in equities and fixed income.
