The Trump-Musk feud could be one of the catalysts for a coming 10% stock correction, former JPMorgan strategist says
Marko Kolanovic predicts a stock market pullback could be in the cards. Kolanovic thinks Tesla's decline on the Trump-Musk feud could be among the catalysts that spark a decline. Other problems he sees for the market include high valuations and economic uncertainty. Former JPMorgan chief market strategist Marko Kolanovic sees a stock market pullback in the cards, and the Trump-Musk feud could be one of the triggers that sets off a decline. Speaking on CNBC on Thursday, Kolanovic predicted a coming correction of 5%-10% that could be set off by a drop in Tesla's stock price. "It's a little bit of a sideshow. It's important for certain companies, and it can spill over," Kolanovic said of the president's fallout with Musk. "Tesla is one of the biggest holdings of retail investors. There's a little ecosystem of stocks around it. I think it could be a little bit of a catalyst." In a post on X on Thursday, Kolanovic pointed to popular retail stocks such as Tesla, Palantir, and Super Micro as potential triggers of a momentum crash. Tesla stock plunged 14% on Thursday as Trump responded to Musk's criticisms of the big GOP tax and budget bill. However, Kolanovic also noted that the Trump-Musk fight would be one possible catalyst for a market pullback among many. Uncertainty in the economy and the trade war are also looming problems. "We're close to all-time highs, but we still have all the problems," Kolanovic said. "We have a trade war, we have signs of an economic slowdown." Valuations are stretched, he said, with the Nasdaq close to record highs even as rates remain elevated, and Kolanovic sees warning signs in the bond market. The risk-reward tradeoff for stocks versus bonds looks unattractive, as the 10-year Treasury yield hovers around 4.4%. That means equity investors aren't getting a great return in excess of the risk-free rate. There's also the lingering concern about Fed independence, with Trump repeatedly pressuring Powell to cut interest rates. Macro risks are mounting as well. Kolanovic pointed to the weak ADP jobs report earlier this week, which reported 37,000 new jobs compared to economists' expectations of 110,000. While the May jobs report showed higher-than-expected job growth, April and March numbers saw significant downward revisions. A correction could present a potential buying opportunity, but that's only if recession risks dissipate, Kolanovic said. Read the original article on Business Insider

Trump Says He Has No Plans To Speak To Musk As Feud Persists
WASHINGTON, June 6 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday that he has no plans to speak with Elon Musk, signaling the president and his former ally might not resolve their feud over a sweeping tax-cut bill any time soon. Addressing reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump said he wasn't 'thinking about' the Tesla CEO. 'I hope he does well with Tesla,' Trump said. However, Trump said a review of Musk's extensive contracts with the federal government was in order. 'We'll take a look at everything,' the president said. 'It's a lot of money.' Trump may get rid of the red Tesla Model S that he bought in March after showcasing Musk's electric cars on the White House lawn, a White House official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. Musk, for his part, did not directly address Trump but kept up his criticism of the massive Republican tax and spending bill that contains much of Trump's domestic agenda. On his social-media platform X, Musk amplified remarks made by others that Trump's 'big beautiful bill' would hurt Republicans politically and add to the nation's $36.2 trillion debt. He replied 'exactly' to a post by another X user that said Musk had criticized Congress and Trump had responded by criticizing Musk personally. Musk also declared it was time for a new political party in the United States 'to represent the 80% in the middle!' People who have spoken to Musk said his anger has begun to recede and they think he will want to repair his relationship with Trump, according to one person who has spoken to Musk's entourage. The White House statements came one day after the two men battled openly in an extraordinary display of hostilities that marked a stark end to a close alliance. Tesla stock rose on Friday, clawing back some losses from Thursday's session, when it dropped 14% and lost $150 billion in value, the largest single-day decline in the company's history. Musk's high-profile allies have largely stayed silent during the feud. But one, investor James Fishback, called on Musk to apologize. 'President Trump has shown grace and patience at a time when Elon's behavior is disappointing and frankly downright disturbing,' Fishback said in a statement. Musk, the world's richest man, bankrolled a large part of Trump's 2024 presidential campaign. Trump named Musk to head a controversial effort to downsize the federal workforce and slash spending. Trump feted Musk at the White House a week ago as he wrapped up his role as head of the Department of Government Efficiency. Musk cut only about half of 1% of total spending, far short of his brash plans to axe $2 trillion from the federal budget. Since then, Musk has denounced Trump's tax-cut and spending bill as a 'disgusting abomination.' His opposition is complicating efforts to pass the bill in Congress where Republicans hold a slim majority. Trump's bill narrowly passed the House of Representatives last month and is now before the Senate, where Republicans say they will make further changes. Nonpartisan analysts say the measure would add $2.4 trillion in debt over 10 years. House Speaker Mike Johnson said he has been texting with Musk and hopes the dispute is resolved quickly. 'I don't argue with him about how to build rockets and I wish he wouldn't argue with me about how to craft legislation and pass it,' Johnson said on CNBC. 'VERY DISAPPOINTED' Trump had initially stayed quiet while Musk campaigned to torpedo the bill, but broke his silence on Thursday, telling reporters he was 'very disappointed' in Musk. Musk, who spent nearly $300 million in last year's elections, said Trump would have lost without his support and suggested he should be impeached. Trump suggested he would terminate government contracts with Musk's businesses, which include rocket company SpaceX and its satellite unit Starlink. The billionaire then threatened to decommission SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft, the only U.S. spacecraft capable of sending astronauts to the International Space Station. Musk later backed off that threat. Musk had been angered when Trump over the weekend revoked his nomination of Musk ally Jared Isaacman to head the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Two sources with direct knowledge of the dispute said White House personnel director Sergio Gor had helped turn Trump against Isaacman by highlighting his past donations to Democrats. Musk and Gor had been at odds since the billionaire criticized Gor's pace of hiring at a March cabinet meeting, the two sources said. A White House spokesperson, Steven Cheung, praised Gor's efforts to staff the administration but did not address his relationship with Musk. A prolonged feud could make it harder for Republicans to keep control of Congress in next year's midterm elections if Musk withholds financial support or other major Silicon Valley business leaders distance themselves from Trump. Musk had already said he planned to curtail his political spending, and on Tuesday he called for 'all politicians who betrayed the American people' to be fired next year. His involvement with the Trump administration has provoked widespread protests at Tesla sites, driving down sales while investors fretted that Musk's attention was too divided.

Trump, Musk feud painful to watch: CPAC chairman
(NewsNation) — A White House official said President Donald Trump and Elon Musk have not spoken and have no plans to speak since their public feud started. Trump is now planning to sell the Tesla he bought in March to support Musk, whose business was suffering backlash from his White House affiliation. The feud between the two stems from Musk's criticism of the 'big, beautiful bill,' which he called it a 'disgusting abomination' that will only add to the country's deficit. During his time in the White House, Musk headed the Department of Government Efficiency, which was supposed to cut wasteful spending in the federal government. Supreme Court hands DOGE big wins in Social Security, records cases Matt Schlapp, the chairman of the Conservative Political Action Committee, told NewsNation's Connell McShane that the feud between Trump and Musk was 'painful' because conservatives have built a coalition and have worked hard to pull people together to support the Republican Party. 'It was kind of problematic for all of us to see that split,' Schlapp said. He added that he was not surprised by the split between the two, because he believes Elon Musk didn't really fit into the political world and did not understand the importance of getting the budget bill passed.
