JPMorgan's Dimon Warns of Market Risks: Persistent Inflation and High Interest Rates
J.P. Morgan's CEO Jamie Dimon, often referred to as the world's most powerful banker, has expressed caution about the current state of the stock market today in the bank's latest quarterly report. He has highlighted several risks, including lingering inflation and high mortgage rates.
Dimon has warned that inflation may persist longer than anticipated by the market. He cited several factors contributing to this, including large budget deficits, infrastructure needs, trade restructuring, and remilitarization. Despite these concerns, Dimon reassured investors that there's no immediate cause for alarm.
He also sounded the alarm on high mortgage rates, suggesting they could potentially slow down the economy and trigger a correction in the stock market today. This is not the first time Dimon has issued such warnings. In September 2025, he publicly raised concerns about the S&P 500's high CAPE ratio, tech dominance, low corporate bond spreads, and mortgage rates, questioning whether a crash or further bull market was imminent. Dimon had previously warned of longer high and possibly rising mortgage rates, even suggesting they could reach the seven percent range.
While Dimon's warnings should be taken seriously, investors are advised to stay vigilant but not panic. The possibility of a re-escalation of inflation in the USA, though not likely given the current cooling labor market and weaker economic growth, remains a factor to watch.
