Jamie Dimon, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of JPMorgan Chase & Co., cautioned against declaring victory against inflation too early, warning the Federal Reserve could raise interest rates above the 5% mark if higher prices ended up "sticky," reported Reuters.
That said, Reuters interviews JP Morgan’s Dimon and published his outlook on multiple issues ranging from the Federal Reserve (Fed) to credit card fees.
Key comments
People should take a deep breath on this one before they declare victory because a month’s number looked good.
It’s perfectly reasonable for the Fed to go to 5% and wait a while but if inflation comes down to 3.5% or 4% and stays there, you may have to go higher than 5% and that could affect short rates, longer rates.
Stricter regulation of credit card fees could prompt lenders to extend less credit.
A default on U.S. debt - a prospect the country faces unless its debt ceiling is raised - would be potentially ‘catastrophic’.

Editors’ Picks
AUD/USD holds steady around 0.6500 ahead of RBA Minutes
AUD/USD consolidates below the 0.6500 mark, or the top end of a multi-week-old range, during the Asian session on Tuesday as traders await the RBA Minutes for cues about the policy outlook before placing fresh directional bets. In the meantime, a modest USD uptick caps the currency pair, though a positive risk tone acts as a tailwind for the Aussie.
USD/JPY bounces off one-week low; not out of the woods yet
USD/JPY recovers a few pips from the Asian session low amid a modest USD bounce from a six-week trough and a positive risk tone, which tends to undermine the safe-haven JPY. The upside potential, however, seems limited in the wake of the divergent BoJ-Fed policy expectations. This, along with trade tensions and geopolitical risks, could limit JPY losses and cap the pair.
Gold price eases from multi-week top; bullish bias remains.
Gold price retreats slightly from a nearly four-week high reached during the Asian session on Tuesday, although any meaningful corrective decline seems elusive. Mounting geopolitical and trade tensions might continue to underpin the safe-haven bullion. Moreover, Fed rate cut bets should cap any attempted USD recovery and contribute to limiting the downside for the non-yielding yellow metal.

Ripple (XRP) faces legal uncertainty in its battle with the United States (US) Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and the XRP price continues to slide. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.1540, down 1.20% in the day.
