JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon reversed course after taking aim at President Donald Trump during a JPMorgan event on Wednesday.
"I think I could beat Trump," Dimon said.
"Because I'm as tough as he is, I'm smarter than he is," he continued. "I would be fine. He could punch me all he wants, it wouldn't work with me. I'd fight right back."
But Dimon, a lifelong Democrat, also added that he could not win an election due to the "liberal side" of the Democratic Party.
The JPMorgan CEO also attacked the way in which Trump accumulated his personal wealth.
"And by the way, this wealthy New Yorker actually earned his money," Dimon said. "It wasn't a gift from daddy."
Dimon was speaking at an event to announce JPMorgan's new effort to spend $500 million to boost economic growth in various cities around the world.
Almost immediately after the comments were first reported by CNBC, Dimon released a statement walking back the jabs.
"I should not have said it," the statement said. "I’m not running for president. Proves I wouldn’t make a good politician. I get frustrated because I want all sides to come together to help solve big problems."
Speculation about Dimon's political ambitions has swirled for years. In recent annual letters, Dimon has opined about the state of the country and weighed in on issues such as education, infrastructure, and healthcare.
But Dimon has repeatedly shot down the suggestion of running for office.
"It's not what I've been trained to do — I've never run for office, I've never thought of things like that, so I think you have to be a sort of kind of person to be a politician," Dimon told Business Insider in February.

India's largest bank, State Bank of India (SBI), has lowered its lending rates by 5 basis points (bps) across all tenors with effect from today (10 July 2019). With this, the one-year marginal cost of funds-based lending rate (MCLR) now stands at 8.40 %. "1 Year MCLR coming down from 8.45 per cent p.a. to 8.40 per cent p.a ," SBI said in a statement. With this MCLR cut, home, car and other retail loans will get cheaper. "As a result, interest rates on all loans linked to MCLR stand reduced by 5 basis points with effect from July 10, 2019," the SBI said in a statement.
One basis point is one-hundredth of a percentage point.
This development comes a day after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) governor Shaktikanta Das said he expected faster transmission of the three successive repo rate cuts.
This is the third rate cut in the current financial year. With Tuesday's MCLR cut, the reduction in the home loan rates since 10 April 2019 is 20 basis points, noted SBI.
From 1 July, the bank had also introduced repo rate-linked home loan products. So far, all new floating rate home loans were linked to marginal cost of fund based lending rate (MCLR) since August 2016. You will see a direct impact whenever the repo rate changes in case of repo rate-linked home loan.
After the 25 bps repo rate cut in RBI June policy, top lenders like ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, Axis Bank revised rate of interest on fixed deposits, while Bank of Maharashtra, Corporation Bank, Oriental Bank and IDBI Bank had reduced their MCLR by 5-10 bps.
The next meeting of the monetary policy committee is scheduled for August 5-9, when a majority of analysts expect another rate cut.

Leave it to the Japanese to create a brush pen. This pocketable pen has a super fine brush tip of actual bristles, perfect for tiny Kanji characters, or of course, doodling in your journal, or sketching in your Moleskine. While it’s hugely popular with comic book folks and cartoonists, artists of all stripes have picked one up for their paper work. The feel is incredibly tactile and lovely. It works like a fountain pen, with replaceable rich ink cartridges. Once capped it doesn’t leak as far as I can tell. (There’s a moment of panic when you first assemble it since the instructions are 100% in Japanese, but just insert the ball-bearing end of the ink capsule into the tip.) You can purchase other color inks as well.

Der Begriff „Innovation“ ist in aller Munde. Unabhängig von der Branche geht es eigentlich „nur“ darum, Probleme zu lösen. Fest steht: Der eine „wahre“ Weg zur Innovation existiert dabei nicht. Viele Marktteilnehmer im Sportbusiness versuchen, im sich verändernden Markt dank neuer Innovationen weiterzuentwickeln. Dank welcher Ansätze können zum Beispiel Fußball-Klubs innovativ sein?
Allzu oft tun wir so, als ob es die eine Universal-Lösung gäbe, um innovativ zu sein. Wir schließen uns in eine Art von Strategie ein und sagen: „So innovieren wir.“
Wenn nun etwa Fußball-Klubs mit Hackathons oder Innovation Labs voran gehen, ist das super. Die Gefahr besteht darin, dass ein undurchdachter Ansatz zu einer Reihe von Lösungen führen kann, die nicht zu den eigentlichen Problemen passen.
„Innovativ sein“ kann viele Formen annehmen, je nach dem, welche Ziele ein Unternehmen erreichen möchte. Auch im Sportbusiness kann es sinnvoll sein, ein Portfolio von Innovationsstrategien aufbauen, die auf bestimmte Aufgaben zugeschnitten sind.

Eigene Darstellung in Anlehnung an Sattel (2017)
Greg Satell hat eine Innovationsmatrix entwickelt, die Führungskräften hilft, die richtige Strategie zur Lösung eines Problems zu finden, indem sie zwei Fragen stellt:
In diesem Beitrag versuche ich beispielhaft in der Matrix zu veorten, wie Fußball-Klubs innovativ sein können.
Die meisten Innovationen finden hier statt. Denn: Die meiste Zeit versuchen wir, das zu verbessern, was wir bereits tun.
Wir wollen bestehende Fähigkeiten in bestehenden Märkten verbessern. Dabei haben wir eine ziemlich klare Vorstellung davon, welche Probleme gelöst werden müssen und welche Kompetenzbereiche erforderlich sind, um sie zu lösen.
Im Fußball muss ein Klub die notwendigen Spieler beschaffen (1). Diese werden anschließend im Training (2) auf den sportlichen Wettkampf (3) vorbereitet. Diese Wettkämpfe müssen sowohl im Vorhinein (4), als auch während des Events (5) vermarktet werden, erklärt Ralf Leister von Fussballwirtschaft.de.
Fußball-Klubs konzentrieren sich also in erster Linie auf diese Wertschöpfung, um ihr Kerngeschäft rund um den Spieltag zu optimieren.
Grundsätzlich sind für diese Art von Problemen herkömmliche Strategien wie strategisches Roadmapping in der Regel effektiv. Methoden des Design Thinkings können ebenfalls enorm hilfreich sein, wenn sowohl das Problem als auch die zur Lösung notwendigen Fähigkeiten verstanden werden.
Lesetipp: Das Buch* „Creative Confidence: Unleashing the Creative Potential Within Us All“ von David Kelley.
Manchmal stoßen wir auf ein genau definiertes Problem, das aber unglaublich schwer zu lösen ist. In solchen Fällen sollten Fußball-Klubs auch unkonventionelle Kompetenzbereiche erforschen.
Ein einfaches Beispiel: die Zusammensetzung eines modernen Trainer- und Betreuerstabs. Fußball-Lehrer treffen nicht nur auf Athletik-Trainer und Ernährungsberater, sondern auch auf Mathematiker und Physiker.
Abseits des Platzes punkten speziell die Top-Klubs mit Hackathons. Prominente Beispiele sind Manchester City sowie der FC Bayern München.
220 ausgewählte Teilnehmer aus über 40 Ländern nahmen im Januar an den FC Bayern Hack Days teil. Dabei wurden etwa personalisierte Fan-Erlebnisse, Datenanalysen, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, globale Fan-Vernetzung oder innovative Services thematisiert.
Offene Innovationsstrategien können sehr effektiv sein. Sie helfen, aus einem eingefahrenen Denkmuster auszubrechen und das Problem mithilfe verschiedener Kompetenzbereiche zu lösen.
Lesetipp: Das Buch* „The Structure of Scientific Revolutions“ von Thomas Kuhn.
Die FAZ schrieb schon 2015 zurecht: Am Begriff Disruption „können sich Manager besoffen reden.“ Die Beispiele sind zahlreich, das Verständnis uneinheitlich – also worum geht es wirklich?
Innovationen gelten als disruptiv, sobald sie die Erfolgsserie einer bereits bestehenden Technologie, eines bestehenden Produkts oder einer bestehenden Dienstleistung ersetzen oder diese vollständig vom Markt verdrängen.
Disruption beschreibt den Prozess eines Ressourcen-armen Unternehmens, große und etablierte Firmen herauszufordern.
Was kann das für einen Fußball-Klub bedeuten? Es geht vermutlich weniger um das sportliche Kerngeschäft als um den perspektivischen Kampf um mediale Aufmerksamkeit und Reichweite.
Klubs wie Eintracht Frankfurt oder der 1. FC Köln haben zuletzt Programme gestartet, um genau die Themen anzugehen, die nicht unbedingt Teil ihres Kerngeschäfts sind.
Speziell bei jüngeren Zielgruppen sowie im internationalen Vergleich, sehen sich Fußball-Klubs einer Vielzahl von neuen Wettbewerbern ausgesetzt.
Mit dem Regionalligisten Wattenscheid 09 könnte sich ein spannendes Beispiel entwickeln. Der strategische Partner HA²LO unterstützt den Klub bei der Entwicklung und Implementierung neuester Technologien.
Neben intelligenten Datenauswertungen für Spieler- und Spielanalysen gehören dazu auch das Talent-Scouting sowie die Initialisierung einer Kryptowährung und der zentrale Einsatz der Blockchain.
Gleichzeitig setzen die Partner stark auf das Thema E-Sports sowie den Aufbau eines Campus als Zukunftsraum für Digitalisierung und Innovation.
Disruptive Innovationen sind HBS-Professor Clayton Christensen zufolge meist am unteren Ende des Marktes und in neuen Märkten zu finden. Etablierten Produkten sind diese anfangs oft unterlegen.
Lesetipp: Das Buch* „The Innovator’s Dilemma“ von Clayton Christensen.
Wegweisende Innovationen sind nie plötzlich einfach da. Sie beginnen immer mit der Entdeckung eines neuen Phänomens.
Große Unternehmen haben oft die Ressourcen, um in Labore zu investieren, um Grundlagenforschung zu betreiben. Andere ermutigen Forscher und Ingenieure, zu Konferenzen zu gehen und interne Seminare über das, was sie lernen, abzuhalten.
Google lädt rund 30 Spitzenforscher ein, ein Sabbatjahr im Unternehmen zu verbringen und finanziert jährlich 250 akademische Projekte. Wie aber können kleine und mittlere Unternehmen Zugang zu Spitzenforschung erhalten?
Ein spannendes Beispiel finden wir bei 1899 Hoffenheim. Der Klub möchte über die gegründete gGmbH mit dem Arbeitstitel „TSG Research Lab“ zu Forschungszwecken Gelder aus Töpfen der EU sowie dem Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) beantragen.
Diese Gelder sollen die Forschungen für das TSG Research Lab mitfinanzieren. Geschäftsführer Peter Görlich spricht von Töpfen, die „teilweise Gelder in Höhe von bis zu 50 Millionen Euro“ vergeben.
Es liegt auf der Hand, dass die Möglichkeit, Wissenschaftler auf dem neuesten Stand der Technik zu erreichen, einem Businessplan für die Zukunft helfen kann. Auch andere Ansätze wie Design Thinking oder Business Model Innovation können dazu beitragen, ein Unternehmen voranzutreiben.
Voraussetzung: Sie müssen im richtigen Kontext angewendet werden. Denn keine Lösung passt zu allen Problemen.
Wessen Innovationsstrategie nicht wie gewünscht wirkt, sollte überlegen, ob er oder sie sich auf einen einzigen Ansatz festgelegt hat. Es gibt immer neue Probleme zu lösen und wir müssen lernen, die Lösung anzuwenden, die am besten zu unserem aktuellen Problem passt.
Das gilt natürlich für alle Unternehmen, die innovativ sein möchten. Speziell Fußball-Klubs könnte aber die Gefahr drohen, die Ansätze von Wettbewerbern mittelmäßig zu adaptieren.
Die Innovationskultur in der Sportbranche hat es ohnehin noch schwer. Entsprechend stehen innovative Ansätze hier besonders unter Beobachtung.

Good morning. Today we look at why the U.S. trade deficit is widening, what to expect in Friday's jobs report, Trump's latest comments on Nafta, wages, and Amazon's latest foe: Bernie Sanders.
TRADING PLACES
The two main drivers of the trade balance are the differential between U.S. and foreign growth, and the dollar. Both point to a widening deficit: the U.S. is booming while foreign, in particular emerging market, growth falters. U.S. interest rates are rising, holding the dollar near a 15-year high. It’s taken a while for the predicted effect on trade to appear because of temporary factors. But in July exports dropped 1% and imports, led by autos and capital equipment, rose 0.9%. The monthly deficit jumped to $50 billion from $45.7 billion. In the year to date it hit a decade high. This frustrates President Donald Trump’s goal of shrinking the deficit but his own policies are aggravating matters: the ballooning federal budget deficit is stimulating growth, and adding to upward pressure on interest rates and the dollar. Meanwhile, his tariffs are hurting the currencies and growth prospects of U.S. trading partners such as Canada, Mexico, China and Turkey. – Greg Ip
U.S. DEFICIT WITH CHINA HITS NEW HIGH
The U.S. trade deficit in goods with China and the European Union reached record highs in July. One factor: U.S. exports of soybeans fell sharply after the largest buyer, China, imposed retaliatory tariffs.
The Trump administration has levied tariffs on $50 billion in Chinese goods so far, and China has responded in kind. The White House could announce an additional $200 billion in tariffs on China as soon as this week. China Thursday said it would retaliate. Beijing last month released a list of $60 billion of U.S. products that would be hit with tariffs in response to fresh U.S. levies.
Should the U.S. hit China with another $200 billion in tariffs? Write to Jeffrey Sparshott at [email protected], tweet to @WSJecon and visit wsj.com/economy for the latest news. (Please include your full name and hometown, or a title and company. Responses may be quoted in this newsletter.)

TOP STORIES
FULL SPEED AHEAD
Friday's U.S. employment report for August is likely to show the pace of job growth picked up from July as the economy charges through the third quarter with impressive strength. Economists expect employers added 192,000 new positions last month, up from 157,000 in July. The unemployment rate is seen ticking back down to 3.8%, a level it last hit in May. As for wages? They look likely to have muddled along, rising an expected 0.2% from July, compared with a 0.26% monthly gain from June. - Harriet Torry
Bonus: If unemployment manages to fall to 3.7%, it would be the lowest level since the Vietnam War, a much different era for the labor market. Between 1964 and 1973, the military draft removed more than 2 million able-bodied men from the civilian labor force.
NAFTA TALKS 'INTENSE'
President Trump said U.S. and Canadian negotiators are engaged in “intense” discussions as part of the latest attempt to revamp the North American Free Trade Agreement. “If it doesn’t work out, it’ll be fine for our county but it won’t be OK for Canada,” he said Wednesday. Talks broke down last Friday after the two sides failed to reach a deal that would bring Canada into a new trilateral trade pact with the U.S. and Mexico. Mr. Trump has indicated that he is willing to proceed with Mexico alone if negotiators from the U.S. and Canada cannot meet eye-to-eye on the remaining sticking points, Vivian Salama reports.
BETTER THAN THE REAL THING
White House economists say wages are growing faster than common measures show. Their alternative approach, detailed in a paper released by the Council of Economic Advisers, takes into account aging workers, uses a different inflation measure and reconsiders how workers are compensated. The methodology shows adjusted total compensation rose 1.0% in the second quarter from a year earlier. That's much faster than the 0.1% increase the Labor Department reported for inflation-adjusted average hourly earnings, Eric Morath reports. Of course, the new methodology also flatters wages during much of President Obama's tenure: The pace of recent compensation gains is below the rate recorded in 2015 and most of 2016.
SWISS BLISS
If you want to cut through the tariffs and tough talk to see what’s really going on with world trade, export-dependent Switzerland is a good place to start. Its gross domestic product figures suggest things are still pretty good, Brian Blackstone writes. Swiss GDP expanded 0.7% between April and June from the previous quarter and rose 3.4% from the comparable period of 2017, the highest since 2010. “So far, the international trade dispute has had hardly any impact,” Switzerland’s economic affairs department said, citing “robust foreign demand and the favorable exchange rate movements compared to recent years.” Exports account for 65% of Switzerland’s GDP.
BERNIE VS. AMAZON
Sen. Bernie Sanders is the latest politician to take a shot at Amazon. The Vermont independent introduced a bill aimed at taxing big companies whose employees rely on federal benefits to make ends meet. Mr. Sanders specifically targeted Amazon founder and leader Jeff Bezos, contrasting his vast personal wealth with the compensation of the companies’ lowest-paid workers, Jay Greene reports.
President Trump, for different reasons, has also attacked the online retailer. Investors have shrugged. Contrast Amazon with companies meant to be direct beneficiaries of government policy: Whirlpool got the washing machine tariffs it wanted and U.S. Steel the steel tariffs it favored.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
So where do we stand on the tenth anniversary of the collapse of Lehman? The bottom line is this: We have come a long way, but not far enough. The system is safer, but not safe enough. Growth has rebounded but is not shared enough. - International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde
TWEET OF THE DAY
WHAT ELSE WE'RE READING
Maybe we've been measuring the gig economy wrong. The Labor Department recently found contingent work arrangements have hardly altered the labor market. Separate tax data better support the idea that non-employee work arrangements are a growing phenomenon. But economists Katharine Abraham, John Haltiwanger, Kristin Sandusky and James Spletzer think something is still off: "If available data on self employment are failing to capture ongoing growth in non-employee work activity, estimates of growth in labor inputs may be too low, estimates of aggregate productivity growth may be too high, and the pattern of estimated productivity growth may have been distorted."
College kids aren't who you think they are. National Public Radio, citing research from the National Center for Education Statistics, says: 1 in 5 is at least 30 years old, about half are financially independent from their parents, 1 in 4 is caring for a child, 47% go to school part time at some point, a quarter take a year off before starting school, 2 out of 5 attend a two-year community college, and 44% have parents who never completed a bachelor's degree. "Today's college student is decidedly nontraditional—and has been for a while," Elissa Nadworny reports.
UP NEXT: FRIDAY
U.S. nonfarm payrolls for August, out at 8:30 a.m. ET, are expected to increase 192,000 from the prior month and the unemployment rate is expected to fall to 3.8%.
Canada's employment report is due out at 8:30 a.m. ET.
The Boston Fed's Eric Rosengren and the Cleveland Fed's Loretta Mester speak at a Boston Fed conference on interest rates at 8:30 a.m. ET and 9 a.m. ET, respectively, and the Dallas Fed's Robert Kaplan speaks in Dallas on energy and the economy at 1:20 p.m. ET.

Chhiber, who was here to participate in the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting that ended Friday, said India's GDP is not reflecting social inclusion.
India can grow and rich will become richer, but poor will remain poor, she said. For a country the size of India, it is second after Nigeria in terms of people having less than USD 5 a day. At the same time, India has such a huge middle class, so the focus is always on that, she added.
"But until we look at people who have less, we will face a lot of social consequences. And the key issue here is women and we need to empower them," she told in an interview here.
India has got a falling rate of labour force participation of women and it is the same as Pakistan right now, which does not speak well of us as a society, said Chhiber, who is associated with several social enterprises including Industree Foundation, Mother Earth and Industree Skills.
She blamed the prevailing scenario on all models of growth and development being linked to urban migration.
"Corporates are investing in hubs in cities. Because that is where other talent is available and so it's getting concentrated. Now women from rural areas are not going to migrate, because their children may be getting free schooling, subsidies etc. So men may go sometime and come back, but for women it is very difficult," she said.
"I think the solution is to create more work for women at village levels. You have to take manufacturing to them. Don't expect that corporates will do it. The corporates have to be competitive. I'm not suggesting government intervention, that is out of question. I'm suggesting a public private partnership model," she said.
She also referred to greater use of farm producers organisations or FPOs, which are private limited companies owned by the farmers.
"I am actually going back to the Amul model. Amul did it 60 years ago. They made the country milk-positive. Every farmer has a cow and is getting an additional income. And this is professionally managed. And it's the women who are managing the cows and everything," she emphasised.
Chhiber said she has helped build India's two largest farm producer companies.
"They are exporting baskets to Ikea as a global supplier. They are doing apparel for H&M, they are supplying to Future Group and to Westside. We need to build these cooperatives that will do world class production in consumption areas," she said.
India's processed food consumption is going to go up 10-times in the next decade, but people in metros do not have time to cook, she said, while pitching for quality products being made by rural women and sent to the cities.
But they should be left where they are rather than making them migrate, she added.
She suggested these entities can start with some grant and after a size has been reached, they can look for investments, including in the form of CSR funding or impact investing, and each cooperative can be tied up to a private sector entity supply chain.
"If you are very small and raise investment, then the investor owns it. That is avoidable. After all, Amul is still owned by farmers. 13 million farmers own a 5 billion dollar business and the management keeps 16 per cent, rest all profits to the farmers," she said.
By 2030, experts are saying India should be a USD 6 trillion economy, but less than 1 per cent of it is cooperative economy. It's 18 per cent in Denmark and 16 per cent in New Zealand, Chhiber said.
"We, after Amul, forgot that model. It has to be revived in a modern way and technology will play a big role there. It's too ambitious, but we should look at 5-10 per cent. We have to show the path beyond Amul," she said.
