Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, expressed concerns about the high stock market valuations in the United States and cited more general risks such as inflation, deficit spending, and geopolitical unpredictability. “By any measure, asset prices are inflated,” Dimon said while speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

Dimon emphasized the continuous multi-year surge in stocks while pointing out that the bond market segments, like sovereign debt, are also “at all-time highs.”He cautioned that current asset prices need “fairly good outcomes to justify those prices,” highlighting the potential for negative surprises even though pro-growth strategies could be beneficial.

In recent years, the seasoned banker who helped make JPMorgan the biggest bank in the United States in terms of assets and market value has expressed prudence. Dimon compared economic difficulties in 2022 to a “hurricane”  headed toward the U.S. economy. Although that storm hasn’t yet arrived, Dimon is still cautious.

He told CNBC’s Andrew Ross Sorkin, “I do have a little more caution around subjects,” citing his urgent concern over global deficit spending. “I’m not so sure,” he added when asked if inflation would decline.

Dimon’s worries are exacerbated by geopolitical tensions, such as the Syrian conflict, the Middle East’s instability, and growing Chinese threats. He cautioned that these problems could have a major impact on the world. Dimon’s cautious tone affirms the uncertainties facing investors in an environment of elevated market valuations, even as optimism regarding pro-growth policies from the Trump administration endures.
