Dimon Warns Soaring Rates, Debt May Spark Crisis as Recession Odds Rise
- JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon warned interest rates could exceed 8% in coming years due to high government spending and global conflicts
- He believes the odds of a "soft landing" where inflation cools without recession are low, around 20-30%
- The worst-case outcome would be stagflation - stagnant growth and high inflation
- The national debt has surged past $34 trillion under Biden to over 100% of GDP
- Dimon and billionaire Ken Griffin warned the mounting US debt must be tackled before causing a crisis
