JPMorgan Chase, the largest bank in the United States, says it lost $2 billion in the past six weeks in a trading portfolio designed to hedge against risks the company takes with its own money.
The company's stock plunged almost 7 percent in after-hours trading after the loss was announced today. Other bank stocks, including Citigroup and Bank of America, suffered heavy losses as well.
