XVAs take $346m bite out of HSBC’s trading profits

The hit was recorded at the UK firm’s global banking and markets (GB&M) division, and was more than double an XVA loss posted in Q3 2019. In Q4 2019, GB&M reported a $189 million add-on to revenues because of these valuation adjustments.
Trading profits at GB&M for Q1 came in at $800 million, down from $1.6 billion
