JPMorgan kicked off the earnings season with mixed results: investment banking fees slid, but stronger trading and net interest income kept overall results above expectations. In 4Q 2025, investment banking fees fell 5% to $2.35 billion, missing estimates that had expected low single‑digit growth. Meanwhile, revenue from trading activities and net interest income surprised on the upside, helping to bolster the bank’s quarterly performance. The company’s diversified revenue mix offset weakness in deal‑related fees, leaving total results ahead of analysts’ forecasts for the period. #JPM #banking #earnings #FiatNews

Yesterday was BJJ
Today is kettlebells again. Went up to double 24k so reps and time down to 9 complex rounds in 10.5 minutes. I added in some club and mace swings to bring up the time.
The Great Scott Adams passed away today.
There aren’t many people who have meant as much to me as he did. Over the years, I learned countless life lessons and practical skills from Scott. In many ways, he was an internet dad to me, someone whose advice I listened to closely and whose way of thinking shaped how I approach life, work, and creativity.
In honor of him, I want to share a conversation I had with Scott during a Twitter Spaces discussion on gratitude. It’s something I’ll always be grateful for, and a reminder of the impact one thoughtful voice can have on so many people.
Economist Michael Pettis highlighted a New York Times article noting a decline in the U.S. trade deficit and warned this trend could become the most important economic story of 2026. The core point: the U.S. external deficit appears to be shrinking, according to the NYT report cited by Pettis.
The item flags a shift from recent patterns of large U.S. trade imbalances. Pettis’s comment frames the development as potentially consequential for global economic dynamics, without offering specific forecasts in the brief notice.
Observers will watch whether the declining deficit persists and how policymakers and markets respond as the year progresses. #MichaelPettis #UStrade #economy #FiatNews
