J.P. Morgan Chase released its Q1 2026 Earnings early last week (see the earnings call transcript here," and one of the main discussions during the Q&A involved a new AI tool to allocate cash. Wolfe Research's Steven Chubak comments, "So maybe to start on the AI cash tool, which, Jamie, you commented on in your letter. There's been lots of focus on this particular ... launch given that this is a tool which could potentially result in some consumer deposit pressure as well as drive some impact on increased competition [and] higher deposit betas. I was hoping you could just speak to how you see deposit competition unfolding as similar smart tools become more widespread." (See our April 17 News, "Schwab Says AI a Tailwind, Not a Threat to Cash Sweeps on Q1 Update," and our April 16 Link of the Day, "Morgan Stanley Q1 Call: AI & Sweeps.")

In 2026, 27% of firms plan to increase their MMF allocations, compared with just 9% planning to decrease them, reinforcing a broader 'flight to safety' amid macro uncertainty. Cash balance expectations have become more balanced year-over-year -- with 29% of respondents expecting increases and 23% expecting decreases, versus 31% and 18%, respectively, in 2025 -- suggesting corporate treasurers are reallocating liquidity rather than building cash positions." Tom Britton, Head of International Corporate and Global Corporate Product at Tradeweb, comments, "We're seeing a distinct change in how treasurers are managing liquidity amid heightened geopolitical uncertainty. Rather than simply building cash positions, firms are becoming more deliberate in how they allocate it, with a growing focus on instruments that offer stability, transparency and immediate access. In this environment, electronic trading is playing an increasingly important role in …
