Shares of JPMorgan dropped 2.93% to $32.51.
CEO Jamie Dimon said Monday the bank is suspending its share buyback program.
Dimon said the decision to halt buybacks shouldn't be used to make interpretations of the likely size of the bank's recent trading loss and that the bank simply wanted to remain on a "glide path" to attaining regulatory capital targets under Basel 3.
Dimon said JPMorgan will probably restart the buyback program.
