(Reuters) - Citigroup Inc (NYSE:C) expects third-quarter markets revenue to decline by a "low-to-mid teens" percentage from a year earlier and JPMorgan Chase & Co (NYSE:JPM) expects a decrease of about 10%, according to executives of the two big banks.

The lower revenues are a result of trading that has "normalized" from exceptionally high levels last year, when the pandemic was in full force, the executives said on Tuesday at a virtual investor conference held by Barclays (LON:BARC).
