JPM

Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, described the U.S. economy as 'kind of booming' but also cautioned that a recession remains a possibility. His comments were made at the Australian Financial Review Business Summit and reflect ongoing concerns about the U.S. economy's potential for a recession despite its current strength. Dimon had previously warned about the risks of a recession and the market's underestimation of these risks. The recent increase in the unemployment rate from 3.7% to 3.9% in February has added to these concerns.

META

Legislation targeting TikTok's operations in the U.S. is advancing rapidly, with a bill that could force its sale or result in a ban passing the House Energy and Commerce Committee unanimously. President Biden has expressed readiness to sign the bill, while former President Trump opposes the ban, citing it would unfairly benefit Meta Platforms Inc.'s Facebook. TikTok, surprised by the bill's progress, is exploring strategies to prevent its passage, including legal challenges and lobbying senators. The company argues that separating its U.S. operations would compromise its global appeal.

Rising rents in the U.S., particularly in the Northwest and Midwest, are boosting residential real estate stocks but may hinder the Federal Reserve's goal of achieving a 2% inflation target. The median U.S. asking rent increased by 2.2% year over year in February, with significant regional variations. This increase is driving demand for rentals over buying due to higher mortgage rates, impacting the broader inflationary landscape. The iShares Residential and Multisector Real Estate ETF (REZ) and stocks like UMH Properties, Inc. (UMH), Independence Realty Trust, Inc. (IRT), and Camden Property Trust (CPT) have seen notable growth over the past month.
