Mark Marengo, global co-head of diversified industries investment banking at JPMorgan, joins Dani Burger on "Bloomberg Deals." They discuss defense tech investments and potential IPOs as the Iran War reveals gaps in spending. The Pentagon wants to shift roughly $1.5 billion in previously approved funding to buy critical missile interceptors from Lockheed Martin and RTX, according to the acting comptroller — weapons that are in short supply as the war in Iran consumes vast amounts of the munitions.

Glass House Analysis
This development in the banking sector reflects broader tensions between regulatory pressure and financial industry practices. The banking system serves as the circulatory system of the economy; any disruption ripples through to small businesses, homebuyers, and everyday consumers who depend on credit access.
International economic policy has concrete impacts far beyond diplomatic circles. Tariffs show up in the price of goods at stores, supply chain disruptions affect whether products are on shelves, and trade tensions can mean job losses in export-dependent industries. The globalized economy means that decisions made abroad can affect workers and consumers domestically.
The implications extend beyond the immediate news cycle. Every economic development creates ripples that affect employment, prices, and opportunities in ways that may not be immediately visible but are deeply felt. By tracking these connections, we can better understand how the economy truly works—not as an abstract machine, but as a human system shaped by and shaping the lives of millions.
