European investment banks are set to lose more ground to U.S. rivals in fixed-income and equities trading when they report first-quarter results this week.

Barclays Plc, Deutsche Bank AG and UBS Group AG are all expected to post smaller increases in fixed-income trading revenue than the collective 24 percent jump reported by their five largest American counterparts, analysts estimate.
