Wall Street says the worst is over for Wall Street

Wall Street is making the case that the the worst is over for Wall Street. So far investors agree.
Top bank executives spent much of this past week pointing to "green shoots" in dealmaking or trading despite in most cases logging another disappointing quarter.
Morgan Stanley (MS) CFO Sharon Yeshaya said that "sentiment and activity improved towards the end of the quarter, evidenced by green shoots that emerged across our businesses."
Citigroup (C) CFO Mark Mason said "we are seeing green shoots" in the issuance of debt "as clients start to have a greater conviction" about the direction of interest rates.
Goldman Sachs (GS) CEO David Solomon said Wednesday that the month of June "was certainly better" than the earlier part of the quarter and that he has noticed more "risk-on sentiment" in July.
"It definitely feels better over the course of the last six to eight weeks than it felt earlier in the year."
That's certainly what investors wanted to hear.
Stocks of most big banks rose this past week. Morgan Stanley's stock was up more than 6% on Tuesday after its results were released. Goldman's stock even rose more than 1% Wednesday
