Goldman Sachs traders hauled in more than $100m on more days in the first half of 2022 than in any 12-month period since 2010, as volatile markets offer up a bonanza for investment banks even as dealmaking slows.

Traders at the US bank made revenue of more than $100m on 63 separate days during the first six months of this year, regulatory filings show.
