Jamie Dimon warns conflict in the Middle East could trigger the most serious global crisis since World War II

• Wars in Ukraine and the Middle East have pushed the world to the brink of a grave crisis, Jamie Dimon said.
• “Geopolitical matters are very serious – arguably the most serious since 1938,” he told the Sunday Times.
• There’s no point worrying about the market at times like these, the JPMorgan boss added.

Conflicts in Europe and the Middle East risk triggering the most serious global crisis since the Second World War, Jamie Dimon has warned.

The JPMorgan Chase chairman and CEO said in an interview with the UK’s Sunday Times that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and Israel’s war with Hamas had made the world more “scary and unpredictable”.
