JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon warns that financial markets are underestimating the risk of interest rate hikes in the US, labeling the current market sentiment as complacent. He suggests there's a 40 to 50% chance of the Federal Reserve raising rates again, compared to the 20% chance the market is pricing in. Factors contributing to his concern include tariffs from the Trump administration, a rising fiscal deficit, and demographic issues. Additionally, Dimon expresses skepticism about the clarity of economic indicators, stating that real-time US data is challenging to interpret.
I think the possibility of those higher rates is higher than anybody else. The market is pricing a 20% chance. I would price in a 40-50% chance.
Unfortunately, I think there is complacency in the market. There is a lot of happy talk. One day, you may see a different reaction.
The confluence of inflationary forces—including Trump's tariffs, the government's expanding fiscal deficit, and demographic changes—are fueling my outlook on interest rates.
Real-time US data is totally impossible to read, making it difficult to clarify economic indicators.
