JPMorgan Chase is expecting growth in the "mid- to high-teens" for both investment-banking fees and markets revenue in the third quarter compared with the year-ago period, co-president Doug Petno said Tuesday.

-- "In investment banking...we started the year with a strong pipeline, we started this quarter with a strong pipeline," Petno said at a financial services conference hosted by Barclays. "And that continues."

-- Petno said the bank, which is due to report third-quarter earnings on Oct. 13, is expecting lower markets revenue compared with its record-setting second quarter.

Bank of America shares fell Monday after CEO Brian Moynihan said investment-banking revenue would fall by 10% in the quarter from a year earlier. Citigroup said it is expecting revenue growth around "low single digits" in its investment-banking business.

Asked to comment on his competitors' performance, JPMorgan's Petno said: "Not much that I want to say in this room."

UK's August CPI rose to 3.1%, reaching the highest level since March, mainly driven by higher fuel prices at petrol stations. Service sector inflation remains sticky at 3.4%. Energy bills in the UK could rise by 25% next year, making it increasingly difficult for the Bank of England to keep rates unchanged.
