Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, is still issuing warnings that the U.S. and world economies might be headed into some trouble in the near future. The banker’s latest warning came in a conference call with investors where he cited continuing inflation and the Federal Reserve’s response to it as part of the problem.
“Many economic indicators continue to be favorable. However, looking ahead, we remain alert to a number of significant uncertain forces,” he told investors.
These “uncertain forces” he referred to were international crises like the ongoing wars in Gaza and Ukraine. The war in Ukraine, however, is more significant to Jamie Dimon who commented, “It could be determinative on what happens to the global economy if oil and gas prices go too high.”

And the head of the largest bank in America told reporters “the important thing isn’t the economy — whether we have a mild recession or soft landing or something like that.”
