The Trump administration's Tuesday memo, titled "A Fork in the Road,&#8221; is being viewed as a move to push career federal workers out of their jobs and, observers say, replace them with loyalists, <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/01/28/trump-federal-workers-quit-severance">noted</a> Axios, which first reported this story.
The memo, sent by email, told federal employees they have until Feb. 6 to choose whether to participate in a &#8220;deferred resignation program&#8221; that would allow them to decide now that they will resign in September.
"Between the flurry of anti-worker executive orders and policies, it is clear that the Trump administration's goal is to turn the federal government into a toxic environment where workers cannot stay even if they want to," said Everett Kelley, president of the American Federation of Government Employees in a statement <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-buyouts-to-all-federal-employees-f67f5751a0fd5ad8471806a5a1067b5e">reported</a> by the Associated Press.
&#8220;If you resign under this program, you will retain all pay and benefits regardless of your daily workload and will be exempted from all applicable in-person work requirements until Sept. 30, 2025 (or earlier if you choose to accelerate your resignation for any reason),&#8221; the email stated. An IRS employee in Kansas City told Benzinga she received her email at around 7 p.m. ET Tuesday evening.
The federal government employed more than three million people as of November 2024, which accounted for nearly 2% of the nation's entire civilian workforce, <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2025/01/07/what-the-data-says-about-federal-workers/">according</a> to the Pew Research Center. Not counting the Postal Service, there are more than 2.4 million federal workers, which makes the federal government the nation's single largest employer, with even more workers than Walmart, Amazon or McDonald's.
"Even a fraction of the workforce accepting buyouts could send shockwaves through the economy and trigger widespread disruptions throughout society as a whole, triggering wide-ranging — and as yet unknowable — implications for the delivery, timeliness and effectiveness of federal services across the nation," notes the Pew report.
While President Donald Trump vowed to disrupt Washington with the help of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42608814/elon-musks-doge-role-in-government-set-for-fascinating-tough-fight-says-analyst-walter-isaacson-sees-challenges-for-tesla-ceos-federal-path">Department of Government Efficiency</a> headed by Tesla CEO <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/elon-musk">Elon Musk</a>, the buyout orders, if undertaken, could have immediate negative effects on key sectors in the U.S. economy.
For example, contractors and IT services that provide defense solutions to the government such as Leidos Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LDOS#NYSE">LDOS</a>), Booz Allen Hamilton (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAH#NYSE">BAH</a>) and General Dynamics Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GD#NYSE">GD</a>) could be affected. Northrop Grumman Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOC#NYSE">NOC</a>), a defense and aerospace contractor, and Lockheed Martin Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>) could benefit if these federal functions are outsourced.
The financial and banking sector should experience some changes. JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) and Bank of America Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) to mention just two, could be impacted by lending, mortgage markets and consumer spending.
Speaking of consumer spending and, judging from Pew's graph of where government workers are employed, retail giants such as Walmart Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>), Target Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>) Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Home Depot Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) could feel the pinch as shoppers in areas with large government employment tighten their belts.
Pew points out that, fewer than a fifth of federal workers work in or near Washington, D.C. as many might presume. California and Texas have the largest contingents of federal employees and 30,800 federal employees work overseas.

Trump Memo Heard Around The World: How US Economy Could Adjust To Buyouts For Federal Workers

Large U.S. banks rallied to fresh record highs on Wednesday as investors cheered on stronger-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings, driven by resilient lending income, cost-cutting efforts and a rebound in corporate deal-making sending.
The Financials Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLF#NYSE">XLF</a>) — a widely followed exchange traded fund tracking 88 large financial institutions — rose by 0.6% on Wednesday, surpassing its previous record highs set in late November.
The XLF ETF has now returned 33% over the past year, outperforming the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) by about 10 percentage points.
Notably, JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>), Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) and Wells Fargo &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>) jointly achieved new all-time highs on Wednesday. 
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Chart: Financial Sector ETF Outperformed Broader Market Over The Last Year</h1>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="677" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/29120502/image-240-1024x677.png" alt="" class="wp-image-756304" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/29120502/image-240-1024x677.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/29120502/image-240-300x198.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/29120502/image-240-768x508.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/29120502/image-240-1536x1015.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/29120502/image-240.png 1634w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Yet, there might be still plenty of upside ahead according to Goldman Sachs. 
In a note shared Tuesday, the bank analyst Richard Ramsden highlighted that large banks posted fourth-quarter 2024 earnings 9% above consensus, with net interest income up 2% and margins improving by roughly 100 basis points.
Looking ahead, the investment bank sees continued strength in 2025, driven by improving loan growth, favorable deposit repricing, and an expected increase in share buybacks. These factors prompted Ramsden to increase valuation multiples and upwardly adjust price targets for the banks under coverage.
&#8220;We increase our 12-month target P/Es by 0.5x to reflect higher market multiples, which results in a 4% average increase in the group&#8217;s 12-month price targets, with 10% average upside and 13% average total return,&#8221; Ramsden wrote. 
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Navigating Rate Cuts: Banks Find Ways To Protect Margins</h1>
While lower interest rates can squeeze bank profits by reducing what they earn on loans, many large banks have been able to adjust their deposit pricing — what they pay customers on savings accounts — more quickly than anticipated.
Faster-than-expected deposit repricing has been a key tailwind for banks, as top institutions saw deposit yields drop 27 basis points quarter-over-quarter, outperforming expectations. 
Corporate and wealth deposits have adjusted nearly one-to-one with Fed rate cuts, reducing funding costs faster than initially anticipated.
While most banks have shortened the duration of their securities portfolios to manage capital risk, Wells Fargo &amp; Co. has gone against the grain, adding longer-term agency mortgage-backed securities to its holdings.
Goldman Sachs notes this strategy could provide additional income stability if rates fall more gradually than expected.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Buybacks And Capital Returns Set To Surge In 2025</h1>
Goldman Sachs forecasts a 55% increase in bank share repurchases this year, potentially reaching $92 billion — the highest level since 2018.
Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>) has already announced a $20 billion buyback authorization, while JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. and Wells Fargo have indicated they will ramp up buybacks.
Dividend payout ratios, which currently hover around 30%, could also rise toward pre-2008 levels of 40% to 50%.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Capital Markets Activity Rebounding, M&amp;A Pipeline Strongest in Seven Years</h1>
A resurgence in capital markets is fueling optimism, with Goldman Sachs highlighting a sharp recovery in mergers and acquisitions. 
&#8220;Morgan Stanley noted that its M&amp;A pipeline is at the highest level in seven years,&#8221; Ramsden wrote, adding that corporate finance activity could &#8220;resemble the mid-90s cycle if both the market and economy hold up.&#8221;
Mergers and acquisitions pipelines across the industry have surged 16% since the beginning of 2024, while the top five banks&#8217; pipelines are up 9%, and independent investment banks have seen a 24% increase.
Goldman Sachs also highlighted a &#8220;constructive fee income trajectory&#8221; at Wells Fargo, with revenue from investment banking and trading expected to outperform consensus estimates by 5% in 2025 and 2026.
Since the beginning of 2024, industry-wide M&amp;A pipelines have jumped 16%, with independent investment banks leading the surge at 24%.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Top Stock Picks: BAC, C, WFC</h1>
Goldman Sachs maintains a bullish stance on Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), Citigroup and Wells Fargo, with Ramsden citing these as &#8220;the best-positioned stocks&#8221; for 2025.
<ul>
<li>Bank of America (Buy): Expected to outperform peers with 7% NII growth in 2025 and 6% in 2026, driven by loan expansion and favorable deposit trends.</li>
<li>Citigroup (Buy, Conviction List): The bank remains on track to achieve its medium-term targets, with strategic restructuring and capital efficiencies providing significant upside.</li>
<li>Wells Fargo (Buy): The bank's healthy NII trajectory is bolstered by improved deposit pricing and growing investment banking revenues.</li>

This means they have to file a report whenever they buy or sell stock.
The STOCK Act, which became law in 2012, requires these reports to be filed within 45 days of the transaction and also mandates monthly disclosures of their financial holdings. This law aims to prevent insider trading by making sure Congress members don&#8217;t use their privileged information for personal profit in the stock market.

<h3>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</h3>
A congressional transaction is when any representative or senator either buys or sells an individual stock.
Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure.
<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn't be the primary reason for an investing decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When a senator or representative makes a new purchase, it could be an indication they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean the seller thinks the stock will go down.

Congressional Trading Report: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Bought Over $4K In JPMorgan Chase Stock

JPMorgan Chase Plans To Redeem All $3B Of Its Fixed-to-Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series HH Represented By Depositary Shares

JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) CEO <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/jamie-dimon">Jamie Dimon</a> indicated that the largest bank in the U.S. "probably would" provide banking services to marijuana businesses if/when federal laws permit.
Dimon&#8217;s comments, made during a recent <a href="https://www.chase.com/business/podcast">episode</a> of the firm&#8217;s podcast, will likely spark optimism within the cannabis industry, which has long struggled with the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/08/40629764/financial-roadblocks-in-cannabis-whats-hindering-growth-and-how-to-fix-it-according-to-experts">numerous obstacles</a> of not having access to traditional financial and banking services due to its onerous classification as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/controlled-substances-act">Schedule I substance</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Debanking? Cannabis Comes To Mind</h2>
What Happened: In response to a comment about debanking made by venture capitalist <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/marc-andreessen">Marc Andreessen </a>on Joe Rogan&#8216;s podcast, Dimon launched into how debanking works at JPMorgan Chase. Apparently, cannabis came to his mind.
"I wanted to explain to him [Marc Andreessen], we have not debanked anyone because of political or religious relationships, period," Dimon said. "Now, when we debank someone, they often blame that reason, but that&#8217;s not a reason. We don&#8217;t bank marijuana companies because there&#8217;s no federal law around it&#8230; If there&#8217;s a federal law, we probably would."
Dimon added that Chase's operations adhere strictly to legal standards to combat issues like money laundering and tax evasion.
"And we do bank some crypto companies and very carefully. We are responsible on the law to fight sex trafficking, money laundering, tax avoidance," Dimon said.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cannabis Banking Reform: Top Of Marijuana Industry&#8217;s Wish List</h2>
The CEO's remarks come as cannabis advocates press for renewed bipartisan momentum on marijuana banking legislation, mainly the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/safer-banking-act">Secure and Fair Enforcement Regulation </a>(SAFER) Banking Act. Approved by the Senate Banking Committee in <a href="http://Senate Banking Committee">September 2023</a> &#8211; a regulatory milestone that was in the works for nearly a decade &#8211; the bill was crafted to&nbsp;enable legal cannabis businesses access to&nbsp;banks and financial institutions,&nbsp;which<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/09/34745118/schumer-vows-to-fast-track-newly-revised-cannabis-banking-bill-after-sept-27-vote" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> have been off limits</a> for years.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Cannabis rescheduling, a promise repeated on countless occasions during the Biden administration, could result in a situation where banks like Chase would open their doors and welcome the industry&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/10/41335229/cannabis-industrys-130b-growth-potential-top-states-for-investment-as-financial-institutions-set">billions in earnings</a>. An October 2024 report from Whitney Economics projected that the U.S. cannabis sales are expected to grow from $28.8 billion in 2023 to $87 billion by 2035. Who wouldn&#8217;t want those deposits in their bank?
That said, the cannabis banking bill could now face uncertain prospects in the new GOP-controlled House and Senate. Hence, Dimon's openness on the topic can only be a good thing.

Shares of companies within the banking and financial sector are trading lower amid overall market weakness as investors react to developments regarding advancements in Chinese artificial intelligence. Additionally, investors could be assessing the economic impact of potential tariffs and trade uncertainty.

U.S. Vice President JD Vance acknowledged Sunday that Americans will need to wait before seeing relief from high grocery prices, despite the President Donald Trump administration&#8217;s flurry of executive orders in its first week back in office.
What Happened: &#8220;Prices are going to come down, but it&#8217;s going to take a little bit of time,&#8221; Vance <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/jd-vance-transcript-face-the-nation-01-26-2025/">said</a> on CBS&#8217;s &#8220;Face the Nation.&#8221; He linked future price decreases to the administration&#8217;s energy policies, arguing that lower fuel costs would eventually reduce transportation expenses for consumer goods.
The comments come as Wall Street weighs the inflation impact of Trump&#8217;s proposed tariff increases. Goldman Sachs warned in a recent analysis that a universal 10% tariff could boost headline inflation by up to 1 percentage point in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43193866/trumps-tariff-hikes-could-stoke-consumer-inflation-jitters-challenge-fed-goldman-sachs-warns">a worst-case scenario</a>.
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon offered <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43150451/jamie-dimo-supports-trumps-tariffs-if-its-a-little-inflationary-but-its-good-for-national-security-so-be-it">support for the tariffs</a> at the World Economic Forum, saying &#8220;If it&#8217;s a little inflationary, but it&#8217;s good for national security, so be it.&#8221;
The administration plans to implement 10% tariffs on Chinese goods and 25% tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports starting Feb. 1, despite concerns from economists about increased consumer costs.

Why It Matters: Vance defended the administration&#8217;s early actions, citing executive orders aimed at increasing domestic energy production and capital investment. &#8220;We&#8217;ve accomplished more than [Former President] Joe Biden did in four years,&#8221; he claimed while acknowledging that &#8220;Rome wasn&#8217;t built in a day.&#8221;
The vice president emphasized that energy costs impact everything from transportation to agricultural production: &#8220;How does bacon get to the grocery store? It comes on trucks that are fueled by diesel fuel. If the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/43097430/trumps-drill-baby-drill-era-begins-oil-prices-tumble-us-energy-stocks-edge-up">diesel is way too expensive</a>, the bacon is going to become more expensive.&#8221;
Trump has declared a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/43097430/trumps-drill-baby-drill-era-begins-oil-prices-tumble-us-energy-stocks-edge-up">national energy emergency</a>, pledging to expand U.S. oil drilling and revoke the electric vehicle mandate. His focus is on restoring the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and flooding the market with American energy, which immediately impacted oil markets.
Financial markets continue to monitor the administration&#8217;s economic policies as the Federal Reserve weighs potential interest rate cuts against inflation concerns.

JD Vance: 'Prices Are Going To Come Down, But It's Going To Take Time,' As Trump's Energy Policies Start To Take Effect

As the debate over remote work vs. in-office mandates continues, Veeva Systems Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VEEV#NYSE">VEEV</a>), a cloud-based software company, stands out as a prime example of how embracing work-from-home (WFH) policies <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/09/40887347/amazon-to-cut-management-layers-end-work-from-home" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">can be a winning strategy</a>.
Veeva had the highest volume of remote job postings in 2024, offering roles with salaries ranging from $55,000 to $300,000 annually, Fortune <a target="_blank" href="https://fortune.com/2025/01/24/veeva-most-remote-job-postings-wfh-rto/" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>, citing FlexJobs. This has made the company highly attractive to job seekers seeking flexibility, particularly as the job market remains hungry for well-paid remote opportunities.
Remote Work Boosts Stock Returns?
Veeva&#8217;s success with remote work isn&#8217;t just a win for employees—it&#8217;s a sound business strategy, Fortune adds. Research has shown that companies offering WFH options tend to have better stock returns and attract higher-quality talent.
A&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://editorialexpress.com/cgi-bin/conference/download.cgi?db_name=SIEP2021&amp;paper_id=58" rel="noreferrer noopener">paper</a>&nbsp;from University of Melbourne assistant professor of finance Gabriele Lattanzio found that companies offering remote work arrangements outperformed the market, with a 7.44% higher return compared to expected returns.
These companies also had better earnings results and positive stock price reactions.
According to&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>, VEEV stock has gained over 7% in the past year. Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;First Trust Nasdaq Lux Digital Health Solutions ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EKG#NASDAQ">EKG</a>).
Veeva&#8217;s Remote Flexibility vs. JPMorgan&#8217;s Office Mandate:
Founded in 2007, Veeva&#8217;s remote-forward approach was ingrained in the company&#8217;s culture from the start, as its founders operated from separate cities during the company&#8217;s early years.
However, Veeva&#8217;s strategy stands in sharp contrast to companies like JP Morgan Chase &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), which has faced significant employee backlash over its recent mandate requiring staff to return to the office five days a week, Fortune <a target="_blank" href="https://fortune.com/2025/01/17/jpmorgan-chase-union-jamie-dimon-wall-street-return-to-work-employees-anger/" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> earlier this month.
JPM stock has gained over 53% in the past year. Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;iShares U.S. Financial Services ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IYG#NYSE">IYG</a>).
In fact, major firms like Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), and Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>), are pushing for a return to office (RTO) policies, despite widespread resistance from employees.
Workers at these companies have voiced frustrations, some even resorting to petitions or quitting in protest, Fortune adds.
The Future of Work: Can Remote Work Gain Ground?
A study found that employees working from home two days a week are just as productive as those in the office every day, Forbes <a target="_blank" href="https://www.forbesindia.com/article/lifes/wfh-vs-rto-why-empty-offices-are-at-the-heart-of-the-returntooffice-debate/94882/1" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>, citing a survey from Resume.org. Despite this, 28% of business leaders plan to enforce 100% in-person work by 2025, while only 2% will allow less than one office day per week.
As the future of work evolves, Veeva&#8217;s focus on employee happiness and productivity through remote work continues to set the company apart in an increasingly competitive labor market.

Remote Work Vs. Return-To-Office: Can Veeva's Flexibility Outshine JPMorgan's Office Mandate?

President Donald Trump confronted Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) CEO Brian Moynihan and JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) CEO Jamie Dimon on Thursday at the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/world-economic-forum" target="_blank" rel="noopener">World Economic Forum</a>, alleging discrimination against conservative clients.
Trump, addressing the audience via video conference, accused the financial giants of excluding conservative businesses, an allegation that the banks have denied, Fox Business <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/trump-confronts-bank-america-ceo-not-taking-conservative-business">reports</a>.
What Happened: Trump directly confronted Moynihan, claiming that conservatives face banking discrimination. &#8220;I hope you start opening your bank to conservatives,&#8221; Trump said, alleging that certain financial institutions, including Bank of America, have refused to provide services to right-leaning clients. 
Trump suggested regulatory pressure from the Biden administration could influence such decisions and urged financial leaders to reconsider their policies. 
Moynihan did not respond to Trump&#8217;s remarks on the matter but instead shifted the discussion toward Bank of America&#8217;s sponsorship of the upcoming World Cup in the U.S. A spokesperson for the bank later refuted claims of political bias, saying, &#8220;We serve more than 70 million clients and we welcome conservatives.&#8221; 
The bank insisted account closures are based solely on regulatory compliance, not political affiliations.

The president also called out Dimon, urging him to ensure fair access to banking services for conservative clients. A JPMorgan Chase spokesperson emphasized their stance, saying, &#8220;We never close accounts for political reasons, full stop.&#8221;
Why It Matters: Trump&#8217;s comments add to ongoing scrutiny over financial institutions allegedly engaging in &#8220;de-banking&#8221; practices. The issue has drawn attention from policymakers, with attorneys general from 15 states previously condemning what they describe as discriminatory banking policies, Fox Business reports.

He positioned these measures as key drivers to encourage investment and strengthen U.S. manufacturing.

Editor's Note: The headline has been revised to correct a typographical mistake.
JP Morgan Chase&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) CEO, Jamie Dimon, expressed his approval of President Donald Trump&#8217;s proposed tariffs on several countries, including Canada, Mexico, and China on Wednesday.
What Happened: During a discussion at the World Economic Forum, Dimon argued that the national security benefits of these tariffs would surpass any potential inflationary impact. He was quoted saying, &#8220;If it&#8217;s a little inflationary, but it&#8217;s&nbsp;good for national security, so&nbsp;be it. I mean, get&nbsp;over it,&#8221; <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/22/jamie-dimon-on-trumps-tariffs-get-over-it.html">reported</a> CNBC.
Dimon also referred to tariffs as an &#8220;economic tool,&#8221; and dismissed the idea that they are inherently inflationary. His comments come amidst claims from some economists that&nbsp;tariffs would increase prices for&nbsp;American consumers and harm the&nbsp;country&#8217;s economy.
"Tariffs can change the dollar, but the most important thing is growth," Dimon said in the interview.
Dimon wasn't the only Wall Street leader expressing optimism about tariffs. Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon, speaking at Davos, said that business leaders have been adapting to potential policy changes, including trade.
 He described the shifts as a &#8220;rebalancing&#8221; of trade agreements that, if managed carefully, could benefit U.S. growth. Solomon emphasized the importance of a thoughtful approach, noting that some measures are likely part of broader negotiation strategies. &#8220;Used appropriately, it can be constructive,&#8221; he said, adding that the situation will evolve over time and requires close monitoring.
Why It Matters: Trump had previously announced his consideration of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/emerging-market-etfs/25/01/43130930/trump-looking-at-10-tariff-on-china-starting-feb-1">10% tariff on goods</a> from China, which could take effect as early as Feb.1.
This was followed by his pledge to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43103527/mexican-peso-canadian-dollar-slide-as-trump-threatens-25-tariffs-expert-eyes-price-hikes-on-typical-us-breakfast">impose 25% tariffs on imports</a> from Canada and Mexico starting Feb. 1, causing the Mexican peso and Canadian dollar to weaken.
These proposed tariffs have sparked debates among economists, trade experts, and consumers, as they could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42367505/economists-warn-trumps-tariffs-on-canada-mexico-and-china-could-hurt-your-budget-more-than-help-it">lead to higher costs</a> for American households. Economic analyst Catherine Rampell warned that the tariffs could raise prices on a wide range of consumer goods.

Market Whales and Their Recent Bets on JPM Options

JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) CEO Jamie Dimon praised Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk on Wednesday and indicated that the two billionaires have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/42938578/jamie-dimon-calls-elon-musk-an-extraordinary-talent-jp-morgan-ceo-shares-why-trumps-election-victory-didnt-surprise-him">patched holes in their relationship</a>.
What To Know: In an interview from the World Economic Forum, aired on <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/22/jpmorgans-jamie-dimon-says-hes-patched-relationship-with-elon-musk.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CNBC's</a> "Squawk Box" Wednesday morning, Dimon confirmed that he and Musk are on good terms. 
&#8220;Elon and I have hugged it out. He came to one of our conferences. He and I had a nice long chat. We settled some of our differences,&#8221; the JPMorgan chief said.
JPMorgan agreed to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42253107/jpmorgan-tesla-settle-3-year-old-dispute-over-stock-warrants">drop a lawsuit</a> against Tesla last year that alleged a breach of contract involving stock warrant transactions. JPMorgan sought $162.2 million, claiming Tesla breached a contract when JPMorgan adjusted the value of warrants after Musk made a post in 2018 suggesting he would take Tesla private at $420 per share.
Musk was ultimately charged by the SEC with securities fraud. Tesla and Musk both agreed to pay $20 million each, according to CNBC. 
Dimon doesn&#8217;t appear to have a sour taste in his mouth in regard to his relationship with Musk. Not only did he indicate that he and Musk have worked things out, he went on to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/42938578/jamie-dimon-calls-elon-musk-an-extraordinary-talent-jp-morgan-ceo-shares-why-trumps-election-victory-didnt-surprise-him">praise Musk&#8217;s successes</a> at his various companies including Tesla, SpaceX and Neuralink. 
&#8220;I mean the guy is our Einstein,&#8221; Dimon said. &#8220;So I&#8217;d like to be helpful to him and his companies as much as we can.&#8221;

Dimon also suggested that he would like to help Musk in his new budget-cutting role with the Department of Government Efficiency, also known as DOGE.
"We deserve good government &#8230; government needs to be more accountable, it needs to be more efficient, it should be outcomes-based &#8230; so I wish them the best. It's going to be complicated, you know, the federal government's complicated,&#8221; Dimon said.
&#8220;If we can be helpful to them, then I&#8217;d love to be helpful to them.&#8221;
JPMorgan shares were down 0.43% at $261.90 at the time of writing Wednesday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Jamie Dimon Plans To Help Elon Musk As Much As He Can: 'The Guy Is Our Einstein'

JPMorgan Chase&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) has reportedly spent an enormous $2.14 billion on legal costs over the last two years.
What Happened: The bank&#8217;s 8-K <a href="https://data.fca.org.uk/artefacts/NSM/Portal/NI-000110939/NI-000110939.pdf">filings</a> with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission indicate that it expended $1.4 billion in 2023 and $740 million in 2024 on legal disputes.
These expenses encompass a significant settlement with the SEC, where JPMorgan disbursed&nbsp;$151 million in combined civil&nbsp;penalties and voluntary payments to&nbsp;investors.
Recently, the&nbsp;Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)&nbsp;initiated a lawsuit against JPMorgan,&nbsp;along with Bank of America,&nbsp;Wells Fargo, and Zelle, for alleged failures to&nbsp;address widespread fraud and unauthorized&nbsp;transactions on the Zelle platform.

Since 2000,&nbsp;JPMorgan has paid more than&nbsp;$40 billion in fines and&nbsp;settlements due&nbsp;to anti-competitive practices, securities abuses, and other violations, as per the public Violation Tracker.
Why It Matters: Despite the hefty legal expenses, JPMorgan managed to report a profit of $14 billion in Q4 2024, marking&nbsp;its largest-ever annual profit at&nbsp;$58.5 billion. This indicates the bank&#8217;s resilience and ability to weather financial storms.
The lawsuit filed by the CFPB also puts a spotlight on the bank&#8217;s ability to manage fraud and unauthorized transactions, especially on digital platforms like Zelle. 
As digital transactions continue to rise, the ability to effectively manage and prevent fraud will be critical for maintaining customer trust and loyalty.
