As American stock exchanges celebrated a 15% bounce last month in the S&amp;P 500 and appear to shrug off April&#8217;s pullback, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon turned out to be the party killer. 
Addressing JPMorgan Chase&#8217;s annual investor day, Dimon cautioned that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/25/05/45508514/jpmorgan-ceo-jamie-dimon-warns-huge-deficits-complacent-central-banks-could-lead-to-stagflation">Wall Street is potentially sleepwalking into a minefield of threats</a>, from swelling U.S. deficits, uncompromising tariffs and geopolitical tensions.
So, in a climate where the atmosphere is strangely bright with storm clouds on the horizon, how do investors protect themselves against the whiplash of complacency being replaced with anarchy?
Try <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">these ETF plays</a>, because sometimes the best defense is a diversified offense.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Short-Term Treasury and Inflation-Protected ETFs</h1>
If you're in the &#8220;cautious optimism with a side of realism&#8221; camp, short-term government bond ETFs are worth a look. They offer lower interest rate risk, and with the Fed playing hard to get on rate cuts, yields are holding up nicely.
Vanguard Short-Term Treasury ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VGSH#NASDAQ">VGSH</a>): Yielding a healthy 4.18%, it's a classic go-to for those who'd rather not roll the dice.
Vanguard Short-Term Inflation-Protected Securities ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VTIP#NASDAQ">VTIP</a>): With its 2.78% yield and inherent inflation protection, it&#8217;s like having a financial raincoat on hand when the storm clouds gather.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Low-Beta ETFs</h1>
Dimon&#8217;s words hint that volatility may come back with a vengeance — and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/25/03/44165367/how-to-ride-out-market-turbulence-with-these-5-low-beta-etfs">low-volatility or low-beta ETFs</a> are designed for just that type of turbulence. They tend to prefer stocks with benign price action and often bias towards defensive sectors.
Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Fund ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BND#NASDAQ">BND</a>): The fund offers broad exposure to the U.S. bond market, covering government, corporate, and mortgage-backed securities. With a low beta of 0.25, BND offers stability while still delivering a modest returns.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Dividend-Growth ETFs</h1>
Cash is king in uncertain times, particularly recurring, growing cash flows. Dividend-growth ETFs target firms with a long history of dividend hikes, a quality indicator in the face of economic uncertainty.
SPDR S&amp;P Dividend ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SDY#NYSE">SDY</a>): Tracks U.S. firms with more than 20 years of history of dividend growth. Yield: 2.49%.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">What Did Dimon Say?</h1>
&#8220;We have huge deficits; we have what I consider almost complacent central banks,&#8221; he said, castigating with practiced hawkishness. &#8220;You all think they can manage all this. I don't think they can.&#8221;
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/jamie-dimon">Dimon&#8217;s unsparing macroeconomic assessment </a>also put a spotlight on inflation and stagflation risks, and warned S&amp;P 500 earnings estimates to soon drop from 12% to flatline levels. If that happens, valuations could follow.
His comments are adding to a chorus of concern. Citigroup CEO Jane Fraser also voiced uncertainty recently in a blog <a href="https://www.citigroup.com/global/news/perspective/2025/signals-through-the-noise-jane-fraser?linkId=821338777">post</a>, and Walmart CFO John David Rainey heralded oncoming price increases due to increasing tariffs, potentially in the form of &#8220;double-digit&#8221; rises.
If consumer leviathans are sealing up the hatches, investors might consider rethinking those champagne-stock valuations.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">The Bottom Line</h1>
Dimon&#8217;s fears, supported by weakening earnings forecasts, sticky tariffs and geopolitical uncertainty, are not to be underestimated.
ETF investors should note that this isn't about fleeing the market, but rather about suiting up with armor tailored for the battlefield ahead. Whether it's the cushion of short-term Treasuries, the stability of low-volatility plays or the reliability of dividend growers, these ETF strategies offer ballast when Wall Street's mood shifts from carefree to cautious.
Because when Dimon raises an eyebrow, it&#8217;s rarely without reason.

Warning From Wall Street: 4 Defensive ETFs To Watch After Jamie Dimon's Alarm

CoreWeave, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWV#NASDAQ">CRWV</a>) shares hit a new all-time high on Wednesday. A series of recent developments have drawn investor <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/45524967">attention to the AI infrastructure stock</a>.
What To Know: CoreWeave has soared this year since making its debut on public markets in March. The company is backed by Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), which recently revealed a large stake in the company totaling 24.18 million shares in a regulatory filing. Several analysts have also initiated coverage in recent weeks following the company&#8217;s<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45421041/nvidia-backed-coreweave-reports-q1-earnings-revenue-jumps-420-backlog-grows-to-25-9-billion-following-openai-deal-shares-hit-all-time-highs"> first earnings report</a> as a public company.
CoreWeave reported first-quarter results last week showing revenue of $981.6 million, marking a 420% increase from the same period last year. The number was well above analyst forecasts of $859.77 million, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>. The company also noted that a strategic deal with OpenAI during the quarter added $11.2 billion in revenue backlog.
Shares surged following the report as the company revealed additional details of its deal with OpenAI, including additional agreements entered into in May to provide the company with access to cloud computing capacity. CoreWeave disclosed that OpenAI has committed to pay the company up to $4 billion through April 2029 related to the agreement.
CoreWeave on Wednesday announced plans to offer $1.5 billion of senior notes due 2030. Shares surged to new highs despite the offering announcement. The company announced an upsized offering hours later, increasing it from $1.5 billion to $2 billion, but shares continued to trend higher with investor interest at all-time highs.
CoreWeave stock is trending on several social platforms Wednesday afternoon with shares now up approximately 155% over the past month. 
Citigroup analyst Tyler Radke maintained CoreWeave with a Neutral rating and raised the price target from $43 to a Street-high of $94. CoreWeave price targets range from $94 to $36, according to Benzinga analyst <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CRWV/analyst-ratings">data</a>.

Technically, over a short period, Snowflake stock has broken past all major resistance and climbed above medium-to-long-term moving averages. The stock is in a moderately bullish trend with signs of continued buying interest. At $181.35, it is well above its key short—and long-term moving averages.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Eight-day Simple Moving Average (SMA): At $181.92, the stock lies right below it</li>
<li>20-day SMA: $171.96</li>
<li>50-day SMA: $158.07</li>
<li>200-day SMA: $147.90</li>
</ul>
These levels show strong upward momentum, with bullish signals across the board. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator is at 7.82, reinforcing the bullish sentiment. However, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has climbed to 69.61, suggesting the stock may be approaching overbought territory &#8211; a sign for investors to watch for potential short-term pullbacks or consolidation.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Snowflake Analysts See 15% Upside</h3>
Ratings &amp; Consensus Estimates: Analysts remain upbeat, with a Buy consensus rating and a $198.28 average price target. The three most recent reports &#8211; from JMP Securities, Jefferies, and Rosenblatt &#8211; suggest an even higher implied upside of 15.09%, with an average target of $208.67.
SNOW Price Action: SNOW stock was trading lower by 1% at $181.04 at the time of publication Wednesday.

'What's Inside RFK Jr.'s MAHA Report'- Wall Street Journal

Long-dated U.S. Treasuries tumbled to their lowest levels since October 2023 as yields surged past 5%, fueled by a weaker-than-expected bond auction and mounting deficit fears tied to President Donald Trump&#8216;s proposed tax-cut plan now <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">under debate in Congress.</a>
The 30-year Treasury yield soared to 5.08% on Wednesday, sending bond prices tumbling and pushing the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) down 1.6% to $84—its lowest level since October 2023.
The move accelerated shortly after 1:05 p.m. in New York, following the U.S. Treasury's $16 billion auction of 20-year bonds. The auction produced a high yield of 5.047%, roughly 1.2 basis points above the when-issued level, signaling soft demand. 
According to an analysis by Exante Data, Wednesday&#8217;s auction metrics signaled overall weak demand.
The bid-to-cover ratio came in at 2.46, sitting just above the bottom quartile of the last 50 auctions and well below the historical median, pointing to soft overall interest. 
Primary dealers—the institutions obligated to absorb unsold issuance—took 16.9% of the auction, near the top end of historical norms, indicating that other buyer groups were less aggressive. 
Direct bidders, such as mutual funds and hedge funds, only accounted for 14.1%, well below their typical share. 
The only bright spot came from indirect bidders—largely foreign investors—who absorbed 69%, a figure above the median and a sign that global buyers are still stepping in, even as domestic appetite shows signs of fatigue.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Deficit Fears Keep Pressure On Bonds</h3>
Market participants remain focused on the structural shift in U.S. fiscal policy under President Trump's second administration. The new tax-and-spending package, expected to pass Congress in coming weeks, could slash federal tax revenues by $4.1 trillion through 2034, according to the Tax Foundation.
In a note Wednesday, Oxford Economics analyst John Canavan said Moody's recent downgrade of U.S. sovereign debt didn't come as a shock but amplified existing concerns. 
"The downgrade itself shouldn&#8217;t have a major impact on markets, but it does reinforce the pre-existing concerns about fiscal sustainability and the broader attractiveness of U.S. assets for global investors."
Canavan added that higher Treasury term premiums—extra compensation for holding long-dated debt—are likely to remain elevated under such fiscal conditions. 
Veteran Wall Street investor Ed Yardeni echoed the sentiment, saying that the bond market is increasingly pricing in a more structural problem with U.S. fiscal management.
"Budget deficits matter," Yardeni said. "That's especially so when they lead to higher interest rates, higher bond yields, and potentially higher inflation."
Yardeni warned that Trump's new fiscal package is "a big beautiful bill that totes a big ugly tab," arguing that the composition of the tax plan—not just its headline numbers—is driving bond market unease.
"Huge budget deficits were a feature during the COVID pandemic," Michael Gayed, CFA said in an email. 
"But the fact that they've remained in place even throughout the post-pandemic recovery indicates that excessive government spending has become the norm, not the exception. If this tax cut bill passes, which it likely will eventually, Treasuries may have a harder time developing any momentum, save for a major economic downturn."
