JPMorgan sees signs of 'Trump exhaustion.' Why that could keep stocks stuck in a range
The volatility on Wall Street has cooled as the end of April nears, but that may be more about a lack of true catalysts and a growing skepticism of President Donald Trump than a rebound in investor optimism. JPMorgan strategist Dubravko Lakos-Bujas said in a note to clients Friday that, while risks from tariffs appear to have come down in recent days, many investors seem to have "Trump exhaustion" and are hesitant to jump fully back in to stocks even on positive headlines. Examples of the market tuning out the White House came on Friday, as several contradictory pieces of tariff news came and went, causing at most a short-term ripple for stocks. Those tidbits included a newly published Time Magazine interview from Tuesday, with the president saying it would be "total victory" if the U.S. has high tariffs of 20% to 50% on foreign countries a year from now. Then, in two different sessions with reporters on Friday, Trump said "we are very close to deal" with Japan but needed "something substantial" from China to lower tariffs. All that led to a modest gain of less than 1% on the day for the S & P 500 , which is still down for the month even after a big week . At this point, investors may need to wait for more concrete information on the economy and trade before the recent uptick for stocks can become a true rally, or revert back to a recessionary market. "In the very short term, the equity pain trade likely remains to the upside as the market prepositions on tariff de-escalation. However, as the summer approaches, we could start to see some softness in activity due to aggressive tariff related front-loading, lagged effects of other policies, and lower business investment activity," Lakos-Bujas wrote. The strategist said this dynamic could keep the S & P 500 "range bound" between JPMorgan's year-end base case of 5,200 and bull case of 5,800. The index was trading around 5,500 for much of Friday — the dead center of that range. .SPX 5D mountain The S & P 500 traded around 5,500 for much of the day Friday. Wells Fargo strategist Christopher Harvey said in a note Friday that he still sees proof that the market is reacting to daily chatter from the Trump team, but the result is still a set area on the chart for the S & P 500 to bounce around. The bottom line is that the market needs real proof of progress on the trade front for a breakthrough, not just presidential commentary. "We have posited there is a 'Trump collar' keeping the SPX in a 5,000-5,600 range in recent weeks. When markets are excessively weak, we should expect to hear a positive sound bite from the Administration; the rally is then arrested when a White House official takes the opportunity to lean back into tariff rhetoric," Harvey wrote. "We are maintaining this 5,000-5,600 SPX collar until there is tangible evidence of tariff negotiation progress, not merely reports of 'constructive dialogue.'" — CNBC's Michael Bloom contributed reporting.

Even Hollywood Couldn't Save Biden
Joe Biden received advice from Steven Spielberg and Jeffrey Katzenberg before his June debate against Donald Trump, according to a new book by Chris Whipple. Given that it was probably the worst presidential debate performance in history, it's no wonder they haven't bragged about it. 'Uncharted: How Trump Beat Biden, Harris and the Odds in the Wildest Campaign in History' recounts how the Hollywood moguls advised Mr. Biden over Zoom on how to answer questions. Mr. Katzenberg then spent a week at Camp David to work with Mr. Biden on his body language in front of a camera. There's a long history of Hollywood types advising Democrats on debates. Every Democratic president since 1960 who has participated in a general-election debate has received debate advice from Tinseltown. It started with the director Arthur Penn, who advised John F. Kennedy before Kennedy's 1960 debate against Richard Nixon. JFK was smooth and effective on television while Nixon, who sounded fine on radio, looked pasty and sweaty to those watching at home. Presidential debates then took a 16-year hiatus. In 1976 they returned, and with them so did Hollywood kibitzing. In 2004 Jimmy Carter revealed that while preparing for his 1976 debate with Gerald Ford, he watched tapes of the 1960 debate 'over and over' with Robert Redford, who gave him tips on what not to do. A grateful Carter recalled he 'didn't know what in the world I was going to do' in the debate: 'I was probably president because of Bob Redford.' When Bill Clinton ran in 1992, he had many eager Hollywood friends looking to offer him advice. His old pals and fellow Arkansans, Linda Bloodworth and Harry Thomason, were Hollywood producers who told him how to capitalize on camera angles at the debates. Comedian and director David Steinberg suggested via the Thomasons that Mr. Clinton look directly at audience members during a town-hall debate, rather than into the cameras. Mr. Clinton did exceedingly well at that debate, especially in contrast to George H.W. Bush, who memorably looked at his watch during a question. Mr. Steinberg wasn't the only Hollywood star to offer advice to Mr. Clinton that cycle. Barbra Streisand sent him a telegram before his first presidential debate in 1992: 'Don't be afraid to let your passion and anger show. The best defense is a strong offense. We honor your convictions and integrity and we will be rooting for you.' As Ms. Streisand described the guidance in her 2023 autobiography, 'I was talking to him like a director.' Barack Obama also drew on Democrats' alliance with progressive Hollywood stars. They weren't shy about giving guidance after Mr. Obama's poor debate performance against Mitt Romney in 2012. Aaron Sorkin, creator of 'The West Wing,' wrote a scene in which President Josiah Bartlet advised Mr. Obama to go after Mr. Romney more aggressively next time by 'learning to pronounce three words: 'Governor, you're lying.' ' The program had ended its run, so Mr. Sorkin fed the scene to New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd, who published it. Not all the advice heading from Los Angeles to Washington has been helpful. As actor Rob Lowe recounted on his podcast in 2021, director Rob Reiner suggested to Al Gore that he get up in George W. Bush's face during their 2000 debate. It didn't work. Mr. Gore's attempt to make Mr. Bush uncomfortable was countered with a dismissive head check that might have been Mr. Bush's best moment in that debate. Unlike that situation, one can hardly blame Messrs. Katzenberg and Spielberg for Mr. Biden's predicament. Mr. Biden didn't have it in him to perform adequately in 2024. The best advice they could have offered Mr. Biden would have been to drop out of the race before taking the stage, but there was no way he would have taken it. Mr. Troy is a Senior Fellow at the Ronald Reagan Institute. He served as deputy secretary of health and human services, 2007-09, and is author, most recently, of 'The Power and the Money: The Epic Clashes Between Commanders in Chief and Titans of Industry.'

‘100% OPSEC' apparently means texting military plans to a reporter
The Pentagon, which recently promised to put employees through polygraph tests in an investigation into leaks of classified information, is now the source of its own leak. On March 15, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared detailed real-time information about a military strike and its aftermath in a group chat on Signal, a messaging app, that included several other top administration officials and — wait for it — Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. Although defense officials have repeatedly stressed they are committed to being the 'most transparent' in history, it is unlikely that this is what they meant. Goldberg wrote on Tuesday that he was invited to the chat group earlier this month, and was privy to a March 15 message from Hegseth that included operational details of planned strikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen. Hegseth sent the group battle plans of the strike two hours before it occurred. He and CIA Director John L. Ratcliffe, who was also on the chat, appear to have also shared details of intelligence-collecting methods used before the strike. It is not exactly clear why Goldberg was added to the group. Goldberg wrote that he received a connection request from National Security Advisor Michael Waltz on March 11, but no one on the group seemed to notice his presence until he voluntarily left it. The March 15 post from Hegseth provided operational details about how the U.S. military would attack the Houthis, including 'information about targets, weapons the U.S. would be deploying, and attack sequencing.' The good news is that keeping the chat secret was, apparently, on Hegseth's mind during the exchanges. He texted the group that 'I will do all we can to enforce 100% OPSEC,' and later wrote that 'We are currently clean on OPSEC.' National Security Council spokesman Brian Hughes indicated on Tuesday that Goldberg's reporting is accurate. 'At this time, the message thread that was reported appears to be authentic, and we are reviewing how an inadvertent number was added to the chain,' Hughes wrote in the statement to Task & Purpose. 'The thread is a demonstration of the deep and thoughtful policy coordination between senior officials. The ongoing success of the Houthi operation demonstrates that there were no threats to our servicemembers or our national security.' OPSEC, or operational security, refers to not releasing any information that could compromise military operations or put troops in danger. It's also a subject of numerous mind-numbing briefings and makes a frequent appearance in the comment section of stories on military news — often posted by someone who doesn't fully grasp what OPSEC actually means. Goldberg's revelation comes after the New York Times first reported that Elon Musk, a top ally of President Donald Trump and head of the Department of Government Efficiency Team, would be briefed on the U.S. military's war plans for China when he visited the Pentagon on March 21. Trump denied the story, and the New York Times subsequently reported that the planned briefing had been called off. Afterward, Hegseth's chief of staff Joe Kasper announced an investigation that would refer people who leak classified national security to law enforcement agencies for criminal prosecution. 'The use of polygraphs in the execution of this investigation will be in accordance with applicable law and policy,' Kasper wrote. It is unclear if the Defense Secretary will have to be subjected to a polygraph the next time he logs into Signal.
