JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon warned that equities may be riskier than investors realize and said he wouldn’t buy long-dated Treasuries, suggesting the 10-year should be around 4%–4.5%. Despite Dimon’s stance, investors have piled into short-term Treasuries, with the iShares 0-3 Month Treasury Bond ETF (SGOV) pulling roughly $47.5 billion this year and ranking among the top bond ETFs as markets favor safety at the short end while yields hover around 4.6%.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon says investors are underestimating geopolitical and fiscal risks and he wouldn’t buy equities or long-dated Treasurys at current prices, citing wars, U.S.–China tensions, and rising deficits that could push rates higher, even as the economy shows resilience and AI spending prospects remain uncertain.
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon says investors are underestimating geopolitical and fiscal risks that could unsettle markets, and he wouldn’t buy equities or long-dated U.S. Treasuries at current prices, citing wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, U.S.–China tensions, rising defense spending, and mounting deficits. He warns a shock could appear even if some risks seem priced in, expects higher rates as bond investors demand more compensation, and notes resilience in the economy alongside ongoing AI investment.
Jamie Dimon announced a $24 million package ($18 million in loans and $6 million in grants) to revive American shipbuilding, financing a new submarine manufacturing facility at the Philadelphia Navy Yard built by Rhoads Industries and expanding lending to maritime small businesses and regional suppliers as part of JPMorgan's $1.5 trillion effort to bolster industries key to U.S. economic and national security, a move Dimon called the 'arsenal of democracy' reignited amid rising global tensions.

JPMorgan Chase posted a record second-quarter profit of $21.2 billion (about $7.70 a share) on $57 billion in revenue, up 41% and 28% respectively, boosted by a $4.6 billion Visa stake gain and additional equity gains; excluding the Visa gain, earnings still topped expectations. Equity trading jumped 86% to $6 billion, and net interest income rose 10% to $25.5 billion. CEO Jamie Dimon said the current banking environment is 'close to as good as it gets,' while cautioning about geopolitical risks, wars, sticky inflation, and elevated asset prices. The bank also raised its full-year net interest income guidance to about $96.6 billion, signaling confidence in continued strength in lending and markets.
Senator Elizabeth Warren pressed JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon for clarification on the bank’s contacts with Jeffrey Epstein after newly released Epstein files suggested Dimon discussed the matter; Warren’s letter cites a 2009 email in which Epstein allegedly asked former minister Mandelson whether Dimon should lobby UK Chancellor Darling, with Mandelson reportedly advising to “mildly threaten.” Dimon has repeatedly said he never met Epstein, and JP Morgan says it ended its relationship with Epstein in 2013 and that Dimon was not involved in any decisions about his account; the documents and statements have renewed scrutiny of the bank’s links to Epstein and what Dimon or the firm knew about his activities.
Marianne Lake, a longtime JPMorgan executive long viewed as a potential Dimon successor, resigned after Dimon chose two rivals for the top job. She reportedly left with about $50 million in unvested JPMorgan stock that would typically be forfeited upon departure, though an exception wasn’t confirmed. The move followed reports of a fraying relationship with Dimon and mixed internal assessments of her leadership, while Dimon is expected to remain CEO for roughly three more years before transitioning to executive chairman; no clear front-runner for the role was officially declared.
JPMorgan’s CEO succession is shaping up as a merit-based contest, with Rohrbaugh and Petno installed as co-presidents and Marianne Lake sidelined, despite past DEI emphasis; while a woman could still lead in the future, the board’s pick remains unsettled and long-time leaders like Mary Erdoes and Piepszak are being retained with large incentives.
JPMorgan named Doug Petno and Troy Rohrbaugh co-presidents, effectively becoming frontrunners to succeed Jamie Dimon and narrowing the succession field from a slate of female contenders to an all-male pair; Marianne Lake's retirement removes a top candidate, leaving Mary Erdoes as the remaining explicitly named contender, while analysts say Dimon is likely to stay on as CEO for several more years.
