📣 JP Morgan Private Bank does not chase price

What sets JP Morgan Private Bank apart from regular JP Morgan and most other banks is simple. It sometimes holds a view that does not react to price action.

Usually it works mechanically: prices go up and targets are raised, prices fall and forecasts are cut.

Speaking publicly against the market takes rare conviction.

On Sunday evening, right after a record and almost historic collapse in gold prices, JP Morgan Private Bank told clients it expects gold to rise to $6,300 per ounce.

The logic is that gold still has room to move higher in a regime where real assets continue to outperform paper ones, and that gold remains the strongest geopolitical hedge.

Saying this after a crash, not during a rally, is the real signal.

Debt keeps rising, same old route.

None of us own enough hard assets

🔽US tech stocks sell off hard

US technology stocks are sliding sharply amid rising tensions between the US and Iran.

The move is broad across semis and big tech, pointing to a clear risk-off reaction rather than single-name news.

🔴 AMD $AMD: -17%
🔴 Palantir $PLTR: -14%
🔴 Micron $MU: -12%
🔴 Broadcom $AVGO: -8%
🔴 Nvidia $NVDA: -5%

Geopolitics is back in the driver’s seat.

"US stocks outperforming the rest of the world" has been one of the strongest investing themes for years.

The easiest intraday target❓

Previous Day Highs and Lows.

The market targets them almost on a daily basis.

📈 If Bullish: PDH is your first target, PDL acts as support

💵 US dollar is falling at the fastest pace since 1980

The dollar has become the second worst performer in the G10. A year ago it was the strongest. In the last 3 months, most major currencies gained sharply against it.

✅ Australian dollar up about 8%
✅ Swedish krona up over 10%
✅ New Zealand dollar up 5%
✅ Norwegian krone up close to 2%

The pressure comes from several angles. Political uncertainty in the US is rising. Trade policy looks aggressive and hard to predict, with tariffs coming back into focus. That has triggered a broad “sell America” move, with capital flowing out of US assets.

There are also doubts around Fed independence. Public pressure for easier policy makes markets question how insulated monetary decisions really are. Add growing fiscal deficits and rising debt, and confidence in the dollar takes another hit.

This looks less like a quick move and more like a shift in how global markets price US risk.

🔽 Anthropic rattles software and finance stocks

Markets reacted sharply after reports around new Anthropic tooling, with a broad selloff across software, finance, and asset management names.

Bloomberg data showed heavy pressure across the sector:
🖱 Around $285B wiped out across affected stocks
🖱 Goldman’s software basket down about 6%, the largest drop since April
🖱 Financial services index down roughly 7%
🖱 Nasdaq at one point down 2.4%

The trigger was not a new model, but the release of 11 plugins for Claude Cowork on Jan 30. These tools target full workflows like financial modeling, legal research, and sales operations, rather than plugging into existing software.

Stocks tied to those workflows sold off hard:
🖱 RELX: -14%
🖱 Wolters Kluwer: -13%
🖱 Infosys: -7%
🖱 TCS: -6%

Wall Street has started calling it a “SaaSpocalypse.” The concern is that foundation model companies are moving beyond APIs and into owning the application layer itself.

For markets built on selling automation, this is no longer theoretical.
