Now time for some of today's trending tickers.
We're looking at the 10 year treasury.
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon saying we're going to see a crack in the bond market.
Dimond making the comments an economic forum Friday, Josh, so Diamond saying issuing me this warning, there's going to be a crack in the bond market.
You're gonna panic, he says.
He says he's not gonna panic, but you're gonna panic.
I might.
Yeah, you might maybe everybody will.
Uh, it is Jamie Dimon, and so obviously when he Speaks people do pay attention and he's right to say that you stay focused on the bond market, which was spooking folks and we can debate the reasons why it was maybe debts and deficits or was it recession fears and winding was the selling in in in Japanese government debt, but it was spooking folks.
There's something about Jamie Dimon and always hitting exactly where kind of the market zeitgeist is, right?
It's if we're talking about the Fed and the Fed should cut seems to be the narrative that's out there, it feels like he starts talking.
About rates if it's recession, it's that bond markets definitely been the conversation, right?
And I think to Diamond's point, higher yields have weighed on stocks, right?
That's been the clear trade over the last month in the sense that a lot of the broader market has struggled as rates are going higher and it definitely feels like the biggest fear or one of the biggest fears in the market right now.
City Stewart Kaiser laid out kind of three key risks to the bond or to the stock market, and he said simply that premium.
Uh, that bond market premium continuing to move higher is one of the key risks he's concerned about right now.
And you also hope that it does feel like things have perhaps right now calmed down a bit.
I mean, I'm looking at the 10 year benchmark.
We are back to 44.
Well, what I find interesting, he also said in this conversation that this may be the wake up call that we need.
I mean, I think with what we saw last two weeks, we got the wake up call already, so I'm not really sure what this really adds.
I mean, of course.
He's always going to make news with what he says, but you know, I, I think he's already to your point, talking about the zeitgeist, and we've been talking about it for a while.
So, um, you know, to me it's, it's always nice to have a Jamie headline here and there, but I'm just really not sure what new things we're learning from his insights today.
I mean, he's he's right.
I mean debts and deficits, it's are a big challenge, and bond markets gonna have to navigate that.
We are checking in on Palantirer, and by the way, those shares tacking on a nice 5%.
In today's trade that's at the New York Times reported President Trump has expanded the software company's work across the federal government, tapping the company's technology which can easily organize, we know, and analyze data pulled from different agencies.
So this was the Times report how the Trump administration has expanded Paltier's work, jobs for the government.
They say the company has received more than $113 million in federal government spending since Trump took office.
It does not, and that doesn't include, by the way.
They see this nearly $800 million contract that the DOD awarded Alex Karp's company last week.
This has not been a stock by what you want to bet against.
It's been rough.
No, short sellers have lost over $2 billion betting on this stock since April 8th.
That's from, uh, S3 Partners, Josh.
But you just zoom out on the stock like we're doing right now, right?
You look over 6 months, things up 91%.
Like stock is now trading at basically an all-time high, right around 470% over the past 12 months.
Yeah, it's, it's it's crazy.
Crazy crazy chart and I think I was when we were talking about this before the show, I was looking stock was only up 1% and I was like, OK, maybe we finally just maxed out on potential catalysts here because it is a good contract and the stock wasn't moving that much.
Now interesting as we get the broader market rally that we're starting to see into the close.
Palantirer is one of the key movers.
Palantirer feels like it's been a little bit of a leader for the market.
Palantirer kind of moves a little bit higher than the market's moving, but it's definitely one of those hype trades, right?
Oh, what do you make of it?
Pallanter and Nvidia, these are companies you don't bet against now.
I think.
Most fascinating to me is that there were some concerns that defense stocks were going to get hit as the Doge operation was well underway, and the fact that Palantirer has done better than most expected, but clearly still winning more contracts and that Trump is is very much leaning into Karp's business is is obviously another reason that you will not now bet against Palantirer.
And by the way, what else happened this week?
Fannie Mae told us they're launching this AI powered crime detection unit.
Who did they partner with?

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon backs surprising tax change
Certain political truths have stood the test of time. Republicans' love for tax cuts has been one of those political truths. Modern Republican presidents are responsible for the most significant cuts in history. President Ronald Reagan signed into law the Economic Recovery Act of 1981, which lowered the highest individual tax rate from 70% to 50% and the lowest to 11% from 14%, along with the Tax Reform Act of 1986, which lowered the highest capital gains tax rate from 28% to 20%. Related: Jamie Dimon sends stark warning on the economy President George W. Bush enacted the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts that gave the top 1% of households an average tax cut of over $570,000 between 2004 and 2012, increasing their after-tax income by more than 5% each of those years. President Donald Trump continued that legacy wth the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which lowered the top marginal tax rate from 39.6% to 37% and increased the standard deductions for single and married filers, among other changes. Those provisions are scheduled to expire in December, but the Republican-controlled Senate and House of Representatives are working on legislation making them permanent. JP Morgan (JPM) 's CEO has been smart enough to describe himself as politically agnostic, calling himself "barely a Democrat" and telling CNBC, "My heart is Democratic but my brain is kind of Republican." New comments from Dimon at the Reagan National Economic Forum make it seem that Dimon's brain is also moving over to the Democratic side. Image source:On Friday, Jamie Dimon told the mostly Republican crowd in Washington, D.C., that he supports taxing carried interest, the compensation paid to private investment fund managers. This compensation is taxed at a much lower rate than regular income, giving a significant tax benefit for the lucky few Americans who qualify. According to Reuters, Dimon said, "We absolutely should be taxing carried interest," echoing President Donald Trump's sentiment.

Even in 2015, Trump said, "The hedge fund guys are getting away with murder," but nothing changed during his presidency. It's estimated that the government loses about $20 billion in annual tax revenue from the rule. Dimon and Trump's stance on this tax loophole may indicate that the country's finances are reaching their tipping point. Despite Moody's recent unprecedented credit downgrade, the White House's latest budget proposal is expected to explode the deficit.

According to the Tax Foundation, the bill would increase the country's 10-year budget deficit by $2.6 trillion while reducing federal tax revenue by $4.1 trillion. In essence, it increases spending while taking in less income than the government already does. But the $20 billion from closing the tax loopholes is better than nothing.

These stocks could benefit if interest rates break out higher
A handful of stocks may be well positioned to benefit from rising Treasury yields, according to Bank of America. Both the benchmark 10-year and 30-year Treasury have climbed recently to reach worrisome milestones. The 10-year yield was last at about 4.43%, just shy of the key 4.5% level, and up from 4.01% in early April. The yield on the 30-year bond stands just under 5%, also a key level that's drawn investor attention, and up from 4.41% when President Trump unveiled sharply higher tariffs on imported goods. The rise in Treasury yields largely reflects investor concern tied to the health of the U.S. economy, the size of the government debt and the state of the dollar. When the Court of International Trade on Wednesday struck down most of President Donald Trump's tariffs, the White House immediately appealed the decision, saying "it is not for unelected judges to decide how to properly address a national emergency." The ruling was stayed the next day by an appeals court, leaving investors continuing to question the direction of U.S. trade policy. Yet, despite all the confusion, investor appetite for risk assets has grown in the past two months , while demand for Treasury debt has waned. Against this backdrop, Bank of America looked for stocks that outperform the S & P 500 the most when 10-year Treasury note yields rise, measuring performance against month-over-month changes in the 10-year yield since 2014. Financials dominate the screen, accounting for six of the top 10 spots. Here's a look at the names that floated to the top of BofA's model. Prudential Financial snagged the top spot on the list with a 48% correlation to changes in the 10-year yield. Stock in the insurance and retirement planning giant has pulled back more than 12% so far in 2025. Its dividend yields 5.2%. PRU YTD mountain Prudential Financial stock in 2025. Nearly two thirds of analysts maintain a hold rating on Prudential stock, with their consensus price target implying 9% upside. Prudential beat Wall Street analysts earnings estimates when it reported first-quarter results in late April. JPMorgan Chase also made the cut. The bank yields 2.1% and shares have added more than 10% so far in 2025, while the S & P 500 has risen less than 1%. What's more is the bank's 35% correlation to changes in the 10-year yield. CEO Jamie Dimon has warned more than once this year that the economy could be headed for a recession, but JPMorgan Chase has outperformed, recently reporting first-quarter results that topped analyst estimates, fueled by strong profits from its trading desk. JPM YTD mountain JPMorgan Chase shares in 2025. Roughly 59% of analysts surveyed by FactSet rate JPMorgan Chase a buy, with the consensus price target implying a little more than 3% upside. Other names on the list include Charles Schwab and MetLife .
