NEW YORK (dpa-AFX) - Deutsche Bank is surprisingly expecting a weaker result in bond and currency trading in the current quarter. The company expects a slightly lower result in bonds and currencies in the second quarter than in the same quarter last year, said Chief Financial Officer James von Moltke, according to an audio recording of a conference held by the bank that was made available on its website on Friday. The statements were made the day before. Analysts surveyed by Bloomberg had previously expected an average increase in earnings in this area. The bank's shares fell by just under three percent at the end of the DAX this morning.

Overall, according to the CFO, Deutsche Bank expects a better result in the investment banking business compared to the same period last year. Von Moltke also confirmed the forecast for total revenues of 30 billion euros this year and 32 billion euros next year./men/jha/
