Under the initiative, JPMorgan will: Deploy  $10 billion  of its own capital to invest directly in key companies. Extend  $1.5 trillion  in total financing over 10 years — about  $500 billion  more than its usual lending — targeting sectors such as  AI, defense, energy storage, robotics , and  quantum computing .

Key Takeaway:  JPMorgan’s chief US economist  Michael Feroli  expects the Fed to deliver  two more rate cuts  while highlighting surprisingly strong  productivity growth in 3Q , supported by steady GDP, resilient labor markets, and tech-driven capital spending. The debate inside the Federal Reserve continues to heat up as policymakers weigh the pace of interest-rate cuts. While newly appointed Fed governor  Stephen Miran  has called for aggressive easing to protect jobs, the majority of officials — including  Cleveland’s Beth Hammack  — remain in favor of a gradual approach. JPMorgan’s  Michael Feroli  said Miran’s call is unlikely to gain traction unless the labor market deteriorates sharply. For now, slowing but stable hiring and low layoffs suggest a  maturing cycle, not a distressed one . “Job growth has slowed, but we’re not seeing broad-based job losses,” he noted. Feroli emphasized that despite softer hiring,  ...

JPMorgan strategist Gabriela Santos Aliaga urges investors to adopt a defensive, diversified stance as market risks rise amid a potential prolonged trade war and shifting macro conditions. Market Outlook: A Volatile Crossroads With President Trump’s  "Liberation Day" tariffs  set to trigger a broader trade confrontation, JPMorgan sees this moment as the  beginning, not the end , of multi-front economic disruption. Aliaga likens the environment to an unpredictable spring day:  investors need an "all-weather" portfolio  that can adapt to varying macro shocks. Sector Rotation Underway Big tech is facing valuation pressure  as investors de-risk. Capital is flowing into  energy, materials, utilities, and financials —sectors seen as more resilient in a protectionist climate. AI remains a long-term structural theme, but  near-term uncertainty  is clouding conviction around semiconductors and software earnings. Fixed Income Back in Focus JPMorgan is...

  Two of Wall Street’s largest investment banks, JPMorgan Chase & Co and Bank of America Corp (BofA) , are introducing new measures to address the growing workload of their junior bankers, amid industry-wide complaints of weekly hours exceeding 100. JPMorgan plans to limit junior banker hours to 80 per week in most cases, according to a person familiar with the matter. Exceptions may apply for additional work needed to complete live deals. This marks the first time JPMorgan has imposed such a cap, aligning with New York state regulations on hours worked by medical residents. Meanwhile, Bank of America is launching a new internal platform this month to more closely monitor individual workloads. The system, known as the "banker diary," has been in testing since earlier this year and will track trainee hours daily instead of weekly, allowing the firm to identify who is busiest and redistribute assignments more evenly. Wall Street has seen escalating demands on its junior...
