Morgan Stanley reported ‌a rise in third-quarter profit Wednesday, helped by strong equity trading as markets remained volatile due to the Federal Reserve's interest-rate ‌decision and the US-Iran ​war.

The turbulence forced investors to realign their portfolios, driving up ⁠trading volumes and boosting revenues at ​bank's trading desks. Morgan Stanley posted equity ⁠trading revenue of $5.8 billion, a nearly 41% rise from a year ago.

Goldman Sachs, ‌which beat estimates for third-quarter profit ​a day ‌ago, also reported a similar jump in ‌equities trading.

Morgan Stanley's revenue from its fixed income trading dropped 7.3% to $2.01 billion. The ⁠slowdown also mirrored ‌that of Goldman ⁠Sachs where fixed income, currency and commodities revenue ⁠came ⁠in 1% down from a year ago.

Profit ‌attributable to Morgan Stanley came in at $4.91 billion, or $3.03 per share, in the three ‌months ​ended September 30, ‌compared with $4.61 billion, or $2.80 per share, a year ago.

Sen. Cramer to Newsmax: Banking Discrimination Must End (Connecting the Dots: The Banks & The Carnegie/Soros Network)

Sen. Cramer to Newsmax: Banking Discrimination Must End (Connecting the Dots: The Banks & The Carnegie/Soros Network)

By Newsmax Wires    |   Friday, 16 October 2026 07:39 PM EDT

https://www.newsmax.com/newsmax-tv/kevin-cramer-banks-discrimination/2026/10/16/id/1273076/

Sen. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., told Newsmax on Friday that a federal report exposed discriminatory practices at the nation's largest banks that have driven up financing costs for politically disfavored industries, including oil, natural gas, and coal.

Appearing on "Ed Henry: The Big Take," Cramer, a member of the Senate Banking Committee, discussed a report released Wednesday by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency that found nine major banks had policies restricting access to financial services based on customers' political or religious beliefs or lawful business activities.

He placed the blame on the administrations of former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

"So this report shines the light on really the perpetrators for the last couple of decades," Cramer said. "This is what they do when they can't directly affect your industry or maybe just ban your industry altogether.

"They attack it through the back door, through the financial institutions, which are heavily regulated."

He acknowledged that banks face pressure from multiple federal and state regulators, but suggested some institutions also sought acceptance among politically influential circles.

"They discriminate against these disfavored political entities," Cramer said.

Asked about the experiences of energy producers in North Dakota, he said restrictions on traditional bank financing have forced some businesses to seek more expensive alternatives.

"While they ultimately can get money, they have to get expensive money, right? So if you're not getting, you know, debt support from the banks, you're having to go out into the market for very expensive money," he said.

Cramer argued that higher financing costs ultimately affect consumers.

"If you're adding to the price of oil and gas and the price of electricity, you're adding the price to everything that's affected," he said.

Cramer called on Congress to pass his Fair Access to Banking Act, which he said has 47 co-sponsors, all Republicans, to prevent banks from discriminating against customers based on their political beliefs or lawful business activities.

He said the legislation is needed because changes in bank policies under President Donald Trump might not survive a future administration.

"You've seen the banks change a little bit because we have a new administration, but they'll go right back to their old ways when we have a different administration," Cramer said.

He also said the issue should transcend partisan divisions.

"If this kind of discrimination is good for conservatives, this kind of discrimination can be good for liberals as well," Cramer said.
