Jamie Simon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, has issued a warning about the growing geopolitical risks that he believes pose a greater threat to global stability than economic challenges.

Dimon pointed to ongoing global conflicts, including the Ukraine-Russia war and recent attacks on oil tankers in the Red Sea by Yemen’s Houthi rebels, as key examples of rising tensions.

In an interview with CNBC-TV18, Dimon stressed that these geopolitical issues are "getting worse, not better," and could lead to serious disruptions, especially in the global energy supply.

He warned that there is potential for other countries to get involved in these conflicts, increasing the likelihood of accidents or further destabilization.

Dimon has previously named geopolitics as the largest global threat, a stance he reiterated by saying, “Geopolitics may determine the state of the economy.”

While Dimon has historically been optimistic about the U.S. economy’s long-term prospects, he is more cautious about the current environment, especially amid recent optimism following Federal Reserve rate cuts.

He advised against overconfidence, noting that markets are pricing in a highly positive outlook, but he remains on the “cautious side,” emphasizing that optimism may lead to economic miscalculations.

Despite the Federal Reserve’s moves to lower interest rates, Dimon believes the global risks from geopolitical tensions warrant a more reserved approach to the market's future outlook.
