The nation's largest lender now expects $56 billion in net interest income excluding markets in 2022, after saying in January that it expected the figure to be $50 billion.
The new outlook assumes the Federal Reserve raises short-term interest rates up to 3% by the end of the year, and the bank anticipates "high single-digit loan growth" with credit card revolving balances approaching pre-pandemic levels.
