Budrigannews.com – JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon told CNBC’s Julianna Tatelbaum on Monday that a “very, very serious” combination of headwinds will likely push the U.S. and global economy into a recession in six to nine months.

Dimon pointed to warning signals such as soaring , rising more than anticipated, the unknown impacts of quantitative easing and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
He added: “These are very, very serious things which I think are likely to push the U.S. and the world — I mean, Europe is already in recession — and they’re likely to put the U.S. in some kind of recession six to nine months from now.”
Echoing recent comments by Jeremy Siegel, a finance professor at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, Dimon argued that the Fed “waited too long and did too little” as inflation surged to a four-decade high, and that they are now “clearly catching up.”
Commenting on the potential recession, Dimon stated it could “go from very mild to quite hard” while a lot will rely on what happens with the Russia-Ukraine war.
