JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) CEO Jamie Dimon offered more insights on President Donald Trump's tariff policies and the possible effects on businesses and the economy during the company's first-quarter earnings <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44769110/wall-street-rebounds-jpmorgan-jumps-on-strong-q1-earnings-whats-driving-markets-friday">call on Friday morning. </a>
What To Know: Prior to the earnings call, the CEO of the country's largest bank said he spoke with JPMorgan economist Michael Farley, who updated the bank&#8217;s most current forecast, which calls for 50/50 chances of a recession due to the ongoing global trade tensions.

Dimon added that he hopes to see the Trump administration begin making trade deals and noted comments from the White House that they are in discussions with between 70 and 80 people. 
 "I think that would be good for everybody and they want to do it too," he said. 
Dimon pointed out that the analyst community has lowered the consensus S&amp;P 500 growth forecast from 10% to only 5% growth in 2025. He then predicted the forecast to be lowered even further in the near term. "My guess is that it [will] be zero and negative five probably the next month.&#8221;
He added that, anecdotally, businesses are in "wait and see" mode and are postponing hiring, expansions and M&amp;A deals while the future remains uncertain. 
"People have to adjust to this new environment," Dimon said.&nbsp;
In prepared<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/b44757876/jpmorganchase-reports-first-quarter-2025-financial-results"> remarks</a>, Dimon added that "the economy is facing considerable turbulence" and that "our fortress balance sheet enables the Firm to be a pillar of strength, particularly during volatile or challenging times." 
JPM Price Action: According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, JPMorgan Chase shares were up 4.8% at $238.01 at the time of publication Friday.&nbsp;

Needham analyst Tom Nikic <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NKE/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">reiterated a Buy rating </a>on the shares of Nike Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) with a price forecast of $75.00.
According to the analyst, monitoring collectible sneaker trends is a way to gauge broader sneaker demand. High-demand releases, those selling out quickly at launch and fetching premiums on resale sites like StockX and GOAT often indicate a strong market.
Tariffs are expected to<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44741043/nike-stock-tumbles-as-us-china-trade-war-intensifies-what-you-need-to-know" rel="noreferrer noopener"> heavily influence the footwear sector</a> in the short term, said the analyst. With nearly all U.S. footwear being imported, current tariffs 145% on Chinese goods and 10% elsewhere pose a significant threat to profit margins.

As a result, stock movements are likely to be driven more by evolving tariff news than business fundamentals, creating uncertainty for investors, noted the analyst.
Nike has launched the ReactX Rejuven8, a molded rubber slip-on that resembles Crocs. The shoe, featuring perforations on the upper, sold out quickly in limited quantities and is gaining traction on social media.
While it's early, the analyst suggests that if the buzz continues, the model could pose competitive pressure for Crocs Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CROX#NASDAQ">CROX</a>).
Nike received strong consumer response to its Pegasus Premium running shoe, with successful launches in both January and March.
This momentum could indicate early signs of a rebound in Nike's running category.
While it's too soon to say Nike is impacting rivals like Hoka and On Holding AG (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ONON#NYSE">ONON</a>), the analyst suggests it's a space worth watching.
Brand-level analysis suggests that Nike could see a year-over-year uptick in high-heat sneaker releases, partly due to last April's underwhelming Jordan lineup.
Price Action: NKE shares traded lower by 0.33% at $54.18 at last check Friday.

<h3>About General Motors</h3>

GM has eight brands and operates under three segments: GM North America, GM International, and GM Financial. The United States now has four brands instead of eight under old GM. The company regained its US market share leadership in 2022, after losing it to Toyota due to the chip shortage in 2021. 2024's share was 17.0%. The Cruise autonomous vehicle arm, which GM now owns outright, previously operated driverless geofenced AV robotaxi services in San Francisco and other cities, but after a 2023 accident, GM decided that it will focus on personal AVs. GM Financial became the company's captive finance arm in 2010 via the purchase of AmeriCredit.

Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.
