UPDATE 2-Jefferies profit drops less than feared on capital markets strengthInvestment bank Jefferies Financial Group Inc on Tuesday reported a smaller-than-expected drop in profit for the first quarter as strength in its capital markets business helped cushion a lull in dealmaking. After a stellar run in 2021, U.S. investment banking giants struggled for most of last year as the Federal Reserve's aggressive monetary tightening raised borrowing costs in a blow to corporate appetite for deals. The capital markets unit benefited from the rise in volatility, however, as investors rejigged portfolios to hedge against risk. |
