JPMorgan's investment may signal a shift in Wall Street's priorities towards national security. The bank's focus on critical minerals and defense could indicate a growing overlap between financial and national security interests, which may benefit the US in its efforts to reduce dependence on China.
Banking Giant Backs Critical Minerals and Defense
JPMorgan Chase has invested $230 billion in sectors critical to US economic and national security, including critical minerals, defense, and frontier technology. The bank’s CEO, Jamie Dimon, has long warned about the US’s reliance on China, and this investment is part of JPMorgan’s 10-year, $1.5 trillion Security and Resiliency Initiative. The bank has also committed $5 billion to defense-related startups, according to Fortune.
