In a Tuesday night court filing, the largest U.S. bank also described how Epstein allegedly paid law enforcement entities such as the Virgin Islands Police Department. The U.S. Virgin Islands, where Epstein owned two neighboring islands, has accused JPMorgan of facilitating Epstein's crimes by providing banking services, and enabling him to pay victims. U.S. Virgin Islands police "never received a single complaint" about Epstein's sex trafficking and would have investigated complaints, a person familiar with the territory's law enforcement practices said. JPMorgan's latest disclosures followed Monday's release by the U.S. Virgin Islands of a 22-page document prepared by the bank in late 2019 after Epstein's death. JPMorgan has sued Staley, and wants him liable for damages it might owe in the accusers' and U.S. Virgin Islands' lawsuits.

NEW YORK, June 20 (Reuters) - JPMorgan Chase (JPM.N) Chief Executive Jamie Dimon may have ordered a 2019 review of the bank's relationship with the late financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the U.S. Virgin Islands said. The U.S. Virgin Islands lawsuit is scheduled for an Oct. 23 trial in Manhattan federal court. It referred to a 22-page summary of emails primarily between and among Epstein, Staley and others. A spokesperson for the Virgin Islands said the bank's senior executives "ignored the evidence of Jeffrey Epstein's crimes." JPMorgan is suing Staley to cover its losses in the U.S. Virgin Islands' and Epstein victims' lawsuits.

"All eyes are on Washington and investors remain focused on the debt ceiling," said David Carter, investment specialist at JPMorgan Private Bank in New York. "This is new territory and (it is) not perfectly clear if the Fed will allow tighter bank lending to replace tighter monetary policy." European shares closed higher and the German DAX reached a record high as hopes of progress in U.S. debt ceiling talks boosted investor sentiment. Oil prices edged lower following news that the debt ceiling talks were on pause, raising the possibility of a default that could hit energy demand.

MUMBAI, May 19 (Reuters) - Investors are looking beyond the U.S. technology sector's bounceback this year for longer-term returns, as higher interest rates and an uncertain macroeconomic picture could present further headwinds, fund managers and strategists said. "The tendency is that ... the sector that leads in one cycle doesn't tend to lead in the following cycle," Yoder told the Reuters Global Markets Forum. "We are staying away from the more interest rate-sensitive sectors such as tech," said Jonathan Mondillo, head of North American fixed income at abrdn. Anticipating an economic slowdown in the second half, more cautious and selective positioning across fixed income portfolios is a better bet, said Jonathan Duensing, head of U.S. fixed income at Amundi. "We've always felt that the tech sector in general is one where you need to be very selective," Duensing said.

NEW YORK, May 18 (Reuters) - JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM.N) is seeking documents from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg as part of a lawsuit against the bank by women who say they were abused by the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, court records showed on Thursday. Bragg took part in a May 16 telephone conference in the case alongside lawyers for the victims, the bank, former JPMorgan private banking chief Jes Staley and the U.S. Virgin Islands, where Epstein had a home, the Manhattan federal court records showed. U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff instructed Bragg to provide JPMorgan with a privilege log - or a description of documents the bank was seeking that he is withholding - by Friday. A spokesperson for Bragg did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Reporting by Luc Cohen in New York Editing by Chizu NomiyamaOur Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles.

May 18 (Reuters) - Equity markets in North Asia will outperform the broader region this year, buoyed by China's reopening and a post-pandemic recovery-led earnings rebound, investors and strategists said. Liquidity from easing monetary and fiscal policy, along with Asian central banks' early victory on inflation, is expected to defend against an incoming downtrend, keeping North Asian equities resilient. Grace Tam, chief investment officer-Asia at BNP Paribas Wealth Management, expects North Asia to outperform this year following a strong 2022 from South Asian equities. Goldman Sachs sees the north versus south disparity in Asia as a top investment theme in 2023. "China's growth recovery and North Asia's earnings rebound in 2024 remain our key investment themes and overweight areas," it said in its second-quarter outlook.

☆ 'This is not a one-off': The global investment strategist at a $124 billion firm explains how the banking crisis could spread to other sectors and create a recession much sooner than anyone expects

Nanette Abuhoff Jacobson believes that Wall Street remains too optimistic about the banking crisis. Jacobson says that the crisis could contaminate other sectors and aggravate a looming recession. On the surface, it seems like the most immediate repercussions of the recent banking crisis have been dealt with. But Nanette Abuhoff Jacobson, global investment strategist at Hartford Funds, which has $124.1 billion in assets under management, believes that Wall Street hasn't fully accounted for the potential consequences of the banking crisis. For fixed income, Jacobson believes that the intermediate part of the yield curve offers good opportunities for investors.

But JPMorgan Private Bank's Jacob Manoukian says investors shouldn't let the noise distract them. With the recent collapses of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank drawing comparisons to the Global Financial Crisis, the stakes have never been higher for the Federal Reserve than they were during this week's FOMC meeting. Both SVB and Signature Bank had an unusually high concentration of large deposits above the $250,000 threshold insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Takeaway #2: Say goodbye to the tech recessionBesides their deposit makeup separating them from regional banks, both SVB and Signature Bank were also highly concentrated in specific sectors. "Such companies are often (as yet) unprofitable, speculative and digitally enabled," Manoukian wrote.

"Wall Street is taking its cues from Washington and other capitals as it relates to interest rates and banking regulations." "The Fed may be jaw-boning a bit as it says more rate increases may be coming this year," JPMorgan's Carter added. Worries over potential contagion beyond regional banks threatening to spread to their larger peers was sparked by a sell-off of European bank shares. While the S&P Bank index (.SPXBK) ended modestly lower, the KBW Regional Bank index (.KRX) jumped 2.9%. Regional lenders PacWest Bancorp , Western Alliance Bancorp (WAL.N) jumped 3.2% and 5.8%, respectively, while First Republic Bank (FRC.N) dropped 1.4%.

Fourth-quarter earnings season is on the final stretch, with all but seven of the companies in the S&P 500 having reported.

[1/3] Jamie Dimon, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of JPMorgan Chase & Co., gestures as he speaks during an interview with Reuters in Miami, Florida, U.S., February 8, 2023. Lawyers for the U.S. Virgin Islands did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The U.S. Virgin Islands is seeking damages from JPMorgan for missing red flags about Epstein's misconduct on Little St. James, a private island he owned there. Dimon and Staley, who later served as Barclays Plc's (BARC.L) chief executive, are not defendants in either lawsuit. The case is Government of the U.S. Virgin Islands v JPMorgan Chase Bank NA, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, No.

In a Thursday filing in Manhattan federal court, the U.S. Virgin Islands said JPMorgan's wrongful conduct continued at least until August 2019, when Epstein killed himself. The U.S. Virgin Islands called Dimon "a likely source of relevant and unique information" about decisions to retain Epstein as a client, and discussions on Epstein's referrals of prominent and wealthy potential clients. According to the filing, the business referral relationship continued after Epstein stopped being a client. The U.S. Virgin Islands is suing JPMorgan for unspecified damages, saying the bank should have known about its "high-risk" former client's misconduct on a private island he owned there. The case is Government of the U.S. Virgin Islands v JPMorgan Chase Bank NA, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, No.
