Good MorningWall Street kicked off earnings season on a mixed note as JPMorgan Chase delivered a second-quarter profit of $15 billion, beating expectations on the strength of its markets division even as per-share earnings fell from last year’s levels. CEO Jamie Dimon cautioned investors that growing tariffs and geopolitical risks could cloud the outlook. At the same time, U.S. inflation unexpectedly accelerated to its highest rate since February, reinforcing expectations that the Federal Reserve may keep interest rates elevated for longer.
Equity strategists remain cautiously optimistic despite these headwinds. Goldman Sachs lifted its year-end S&P 500 target to 6,900, citing resilient corporate earnings and highlighting a blend of index stalwarts and off-the-radar growth names. Yet some fund managers are urging clients to rotate out of the Magnificent Seven, including Tesla and Apple, into more cyclically sensitive plays like Broadcom and Oracle. Notably, Tesla marked its long-awaited entry into India with a Mumbai showroom opening, underscoring the automaker’s pursuit of new markets amid rising competition.
