JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon cautioned that the ongoing conflict between the US and Iran could lead to higher inflation and interest rates than anticipated. He emphasized that while the US economy is more resilient than in the past, geopolitical tensions and rising oil prices pose significant risks that could trigger a recession with inflation, known as stagflation.

• 02The US economy is currently more resilient and less reliant on energy than in previous decades.
• 03A confluence of negative events could lead to recession and increased unemployment rates.
• 04Private credit markets are significant but not deemed a systemic risk, according to Dimon.
