JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon warned of serious risks to the US economy during his speech at the Global Summit in Shanghai. He highlighted that a combination of high budget deficits, inflationary pressures, and geopolitical instability could push the country toward stagflation.
Dimon noted that escalating trade tensions between the US and China are worsening economic conditions. Reciprocal tariffs, he said, are causing businesses to delay investments, further slowing growth. Meanwhile, with declining faith in dollar-denominated investments, money managers are diversifying into other assets.
The CEO endorsed the Federal Reserve’s cautious approach, calling it the right strategy amid high uncertainty. As Bloomberg reported, the central bank is avoiding rushed interest rate changes given the complex economic landscape.
