Lin Zhongxun, in an interview on July 3, 2024, emphasizes that the recall process is not simply a matter of political infighting, but requires genuine public discontent to spark social movements.

Marko Kolanovic, JPMorgan Chase's chief market strategist, is departing the bank after 19 years, with Dubravko Lakos-Bujas taking over as the new chief market strategist. Kolanovic's departure follows two years of bearish market calls, with his year-end S&P 500 target of 4,200 being the lowest among major Wall Street banks. His replacement has favored large-cap growth stocks and warned about the S&P 500's vulnerability to a pullback due to its reliance on megacap and momentum names. Kolanovic's exit raises questions about potential revisions to the bank's target amidst differing market outlooks by analysts like Michael Wilson of Morgan Stanley. Kolanovic's bearish views, attributed to concerns about a U.S. recession and inflated earnings expectations, contrast with bullish forecasts from other strategists like Barry Bannister of Stifel.

Financial markets are starting to anticipate the results of the upcoming election earlier than usual, with the interest rate on 10-year Treasury securities increasing by 10 basis points since June 27. This change in outlook is attributed to President Trump's improved odds of winning, along with the possibility of Republicans gaining control of Congress. Investors believe that Trump's policies in a second term, including imposing new tariffs and cutting taxes, would likely push interest rates up. The potential for 'Trumpflation' could halt the current trend of rate cuts by the Federal Reserve and lead to higher inflation levels in the future.
