The bank’s stock fell 2.3% on Thursday, trading near $280.75, marking its lowest level in more than eight months and its weakest price since June 23, 2025. The decline reflects the broader challenges facing financial stocks this year as investors rotate away from the sector amid heightened market volatility.

From a technical perspective, JPMorgan has now slipped into oversold territory, with its relative strength index dropping to 29.92. The last time the stock reached similar levels was in early April 2025, suggesting momentum has deteriorated sharply in recent sessions.

Technical indicators also point to a weakening trend. JPMorgan currently trades below its 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages, signaling sustained downside pressure.

Despite remaining one of the largest and most influential U.S. banks, the stock has now fallen roughly 17% from its all-time high of $337.25, which was recorded on January 5.

The pullback underscores the sharp reversal for financial stocks after a strong run in recent years.

The two banks ended their prime brokerage services relationship with Infini Capital Management Ltd. months ago, Bloomberg News reported, citing people familiar with the matter. UBS (UBS) and JPMorgan Chase (JPM), along with Standard Chartered Plc (SCBFF) (SCBFY), were named as Infini’s prime brokers in a March 2025 filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Bloomberg report indicated it’s unclear if the two banks ended other business with Infini and what led to the decision. The three banks declined to comment to the article’s reporters. Infini, they said, didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.

Hong Kong’s financial regulators and anti-graft agency on Thursday said they arrested eight people as part of their probe into a HK$315M (US$40M) insider trading deal involving two major brokerages and a hedge fund manager. They didn’t name the entities involved, but people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg that local offices of Citic Securities, Guotai Junan International Holdings, and Infini were raided this week.

The investigation focuses on allegations that executives at the securities firms took more than HK$4M in bribes from a hedge fund manager in exchange for non-public details of share placements for several Hong Kong-listed companies.

The devalued loans are to software companies, the report said, a sector that’s been in the spotlight in recent weeks.

Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon told investors at the bank’s leveraged finance conference last week that it’s being more prudent in lending against software assets, the report said. One person familiar said the move was made preemptively to reduce the amount of credit available to the funds. Private credit executives said they hadn’t seen other banks take a similar view, the FT reported.

A wave of worry about climbing defaults on loans to software companies is setting up firms in the private credit market for a shakeout, Apollo Global Management (APO) CEO Marc Rowan said recently. BlackRock (BLK) has meanwhile curbed withdrawals from its private credit fund after a surge in redemption requests, becoming the latest to be highlighted in the broader private credit issue.

In February, Blue Owl Capital (OWL) permanently restricted withdrawals from a $1.6B private credit vehicle and sold $1.4B in loans to pension funds and its own insurance company.

The complaint alleged that the New York-based banking giant allowed its pharmacy partner CVS Caremark to raise prices of 366 generic drugs by an average of 211%, the Monday, March 9, report noted. Some employees consequently had to pay more than uninsured patients.

CVS Caremark’s parent company, CVS Health (CVS), is an investment banking client of the largest bank in the U.S. by assets, according to the proposed class action.

U.S. District Judge Jennifer Rochon in Manhattan reportedly said in her decision that ​JPM did not breach fiduciary duties of loyalty and prudence. Decisions about joint ​ventures, corporate ⁠strategy, or relationships with third parties do not become fiduciary acts merely because defendants also sponsor an ERISA plan.

However, employees may pursue part of ‌their lawsuit accusing the lender of mismanaging its health and prescription benefits program, causing them to overpay for prescription drugs and premiums, according to Reuters.

Here are some of Monday’s biggest stock movers:

Biggest stock gainers

• Hims & Hers Health (HIMS) +48% – Shares surged after a media report said Novo Nordisk (NVO) plans to sell its obesity drugs through the company’s telehealth platform as part of a potential new partnership. The development follows a collapsed agreement in June, when Hims & Hers declined to stop offering lower-cost compounded versions of Semaglutide after the treatment was no longer in shortage in the U.S. More recently, the telehealth firm withdrew plans to sell compounded versions of Novo’s oral obesity therapy Wegovy following regulatory scrutiny, while Novo Nordisk also filed a lawsuit accusing Hims & Hers of infringing a key U.S. patent related to semaglutide.

Biggest stock losers

• Delta Air Lines (DAL) -3% – Shares of major U.S. airlines declined as surging oil prices and escalating Middle East tensions weighed on the sector, with United Airlines (UAL) falling about 3%, while American Airlines (AAL), JetBlue Airways (JBLU), and Southwest Airlines (LUV) slipped around 2%. Airline stocks came under pressure after oil prices surged above $100 per barrel amid the escalating U.S.–Israel conflict with Iran, which has disrupted production and shipping routes across the Middle East. Brent Crude, a major trading classification of crude oil, briefly jumped near $119, while West Texas Intermediate, another key oil benchmark, also spiked above $119, marking one of the biggest single-day gains in decades. The supply shock has been exacerbated by disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz, a key channel for roughly one-fifth of global oil shipments, raising concerns about higher jet fuel costs and prolonged airspace restrictions for carriers.
• Jefferies Financial Group (JEF) -3% – Shares dipped after analysts at Morgan Stanley downgraded the stock to Equal-Weight from Overweight and cut the price target to $49 from $78, citing credit concerns tied to the bank’s exposure to bankrupt auto parts supplier First Brands Group and the failed U.K. lender MFS. Analysts led by Ryan Kenny said the stock’s valuation may become more closely anchored to tangible book value rather than earnings, as the fallout from recent credit events could linger. They also noted legal uncertainty over whether the forbearance agreement with Western Alliance Bancorporation takes precedence over the loan’s non-recourse terms, though Morgan Stanley added that Jefferies’ core business activity is improving and the firm could gain market share in investment banking, leaving a wide risk-reward outlook.

Quote: “You feel stupid when everyone’s coining money and everyone’s great… it does feel really good,” he declared during the company’s annual investor update. “And then when I think about all the factors taking place, I take a deep breath and say, ‘Watch out!’ Unfortunately, we did see this in ’05, ’06, and ’07—almost the same thing—the rising tide was lifting all boats, and everyone was making a lot of money. I see a couple of people doing some dumb things. They are just doing dumb things to create net interest income.”

“There’s always a surprise in a credit cycle. The surprise has often been which industry [is hit hardest]. You didn’t expect utilities and phone companies in ’08, ’09, and this time around, it might be software because of AI. There will be a cycle one day… I don’t know what confluence of events will cause that cycle. My anxiety is high over it. I’m not assuaged by the fact that asset prices are high. In fact, I think that adds to the risk.”

Track record: As the CEO of the largest bank in the U.S. and at the helm for more than two decades, Dimon definitely has insight into the latest happenings on Wall Street and the economy. His conservative risk management and approach to strong capital positioned the bank ahead of its peers in the 2008 financial crisis, and he has made bold calls like disputing the “transitory” inflation myth in the aftermath of the COVID pandemic and warning that the Fed would have to aggressively raise interest rates. Some of his other forecasts have not panned out, like the “economic hurricane” of 2022 and the “pending recession” of 2023, as well as his stance on Bitcoin that went from being dubbed a “fraud” and “pet rock” to offering crypto services to JPMorgan’s (JPM) clients.

The proposal reiterates the board’s policy against penalizing or prohibiting an institution from banking a customer engaged in legal activity, according to a statement dated Feb. 23.

“We have heard troubling cases of debanking—where supervisors use concerns about reputation risk to pressure financial institutions to debank customers because of their political views, religious beliefs, or involvement in disfavored but lawful businesses,” said Vice Chair for Supervision Michelle W. Bowman. “Discrimination by financial institutions on these bases is unlawful and does not have a role in the Federal Reserve’s supervisory framework.”

In June, the board announced thatannounced that reputation risk would no longer be a component of examination programs in its supervision of banks. “This proposal would build on that announcement to help ensure supervisory decisions are based on material financial risks, as well as increase clarity and facilitate greater precision in supervisory decision-making.”
