JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon suggests the possibility of a US recession remains, advising caution against prematurely cutting interest rates. Speaking at the Australian Financial Review Business Summit, Dimon noted that while a “soft landing” is anticipated by many, he believes its likelihood is significantly lower, raising concerns of potential stagflation. He also mentioned the distortion of economic indicators by COVID-19, advocating for a wait-and-see approach from the Federal Reserve for clearer signals before making rate adjustments.
