FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Deutsche Bank posted on Thursday a better-than-expected 10% rise in first-quarter profit as a resurgence in fixed-income trading and deal-making propelled revenue at the investment bank.

Net profit attributable to shareholders was 1.275 billion euros ($1.37 billion) in the quarter. That compares with profit of 1.158 billion euros a year earlier, and it is better than analyst expectations for profit of around 1.2 billion euros.

($1 = 0.9339 euros)
