NEW YORK (Reuters) - JPMorgan (JPM.N) plans to cut as many as 10 percent of its European investment banking jobs, Bloomberg reported on Friday.

The commercial bank, which bought Bear, Stearns & Cos in March, will make the cuts from mostly junior roles in Europe between now and September, according to a story on Bloomberg's website that cited two unnamed sources.

JPMorgan has over 180,000 employees globally, including about 25,000 in investment banking.

Spokespeople for JPMorgan Chase were not available for comment.
