JPMorgan’s Dimon sees ‘extraordinary amount of complacency’ as markets recover from tariff shock

Jimmy Damon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase (JPM) warned that he sees “an extraordinary amount of self -consent” in the market after investors retreated from their losses “Tahrir’s Day”, focusing on the fact that the risk of high inflation and even stagnation is still higher than people believe.

“The market decreased by 10 %, 10 % reserves,” he said. “I think this is an extraordinary amount of self -consent.”

The head of the country’s largest bank discussed everything from president Trump’s tariff and the state of the American economy to the future of the banking industry and his ideas on encryption during the annual investor event at JPMorgan in Manhattan.

In one topic Dimon did not provide a strong answer: when he plans to retire as an executive president.

When he was asked why he will not remain another contract, investors have remembered that he was planning to stay as an executive chairman of the JPMorgan Board of Directors for a period after step down from his executive role.

“It is clear that it is up to the council. If you are here for another four years and perhaps two others, three as an executive president, this is a long time. This is like a lot of the current value of the world.”

The 69 -year -old indicated that his time as president of JPMorgan was ending at the investor day event last year, when he admitted that he would have been able to leave his role in “less than five years.” Last January, he said that his “basis issue” was to stay for another few years.

When an analyst pressed him in a more specific time schedule, he said, “The intention is the same as we said last year.”

His comments were more directed when discussing the topics of macroeconomics. Damon has argued that the complete impact of the definitions of the Trump administration was not yet clear, and that even at its current levels, the duties are “very extreme”.

President Trump has stopped many of the highest duties on countries worldwide, including China, where his team negotiates commercial deals, but there is still a 10 % mutual tariff in all fields, as well as duties for certain industries.

He said that trade has created a lot of risks, noting that the opportunity to inflation and stagnation is higher than people believe. He added that the chances of stagnation – which indicate the recession with high inflation – “may be twice” what the market expects.

Geopolitical risks are also a source of anxiety. “It is very high. How to run over the next few years, we don’t know.”
