NYSE:JPM 13 June 2025 - 27 July 2025

The Dow Jones Industrial Average saw gains in recent sessions, rising 214.78 points to 51,779.48 on June 22, 2026, with Caterpillar and Visa providing significant support due to the Dow’s price-weighted structure. The S&P 500 rose less, and the Nasdaq declined. Earlier in the week, the Dow closed above 52,000 for the first time, though tech and chip stocks slipped, leaving the broader market mixed. Financials and industrials led the Dow’s advance, with JPMorgan Chase shares up about 3.3% on June 16, helped by positive news about its European digital-banking expansion and support from lower oil prices, which eased inflation concerns. The Federal Reserve kept rates steady at 3.50%-3.75%, with new projections suggesting a possible rate hike later in the year. Kevin Warsh led his first Fed policy meeting, and markets watched for any changes in the Fed’s rate outlook. The Bank of England also held its rate at 3.75% in a 7-2 vote, following a U.S.-Iran truce that eased energy prices, though inflation is still expected to rise. Regional banks underperformed, dropping around 2.2% last week, while the Financial Select Sector SPDR ticked up 0.4%, lagging the S&P 500’s 0.9% gain. In corporate news, Frank founder Charlie Javice continues to appeal her conviction related to the $175 million JPMorgan deal. JPMorgan also recently filed its first-quarter report, revealing $31.4 billion set aside for credit losses, with reserve growth slowing and expenses rising.
