Bank of Montreal's second-quarter profit jumped as higher interest rates shored up the lender's net interest income, the Canadian bank said on Wednesday.
Net income excluding one-off items rose to C$2.22 billion ($1.65 billion), or C$2.93 per share, for the three months ended April 30, compared with C$2.19 billion, or C$3.23 a share, a year earlier
