During a recent interview with the online outlet Semafor, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon warned about the effects of President Donald Trump‘s tariffs may be having on companies within the United States, using the word ‘uncertainty’ to describe the situation.
“I don’t think the average American consumer who wakes up in the morning and goes to work changes what they’re going to do because they read about tariffs,” Dimon said.
“But I do think companies might,” the finance CEO added. “Uncertainty is not a good thing.”
Dimon made these comments in an interview with Semafor’s Gina Chon that was conducted at a Washington D.C. summit on retirement that was recently held at the Bipartisan Policy Center. This event was hosted by BlackRock.
Recent downward trajectories on investments such as cryptocurrencies like XRP, Bitcoin, and Ethereum, as well as rapid decreases in Stock market values, have caused a kind of panic amongst the American consumer.
This panic appears to be setting in.
The New York Stock Exchange has shed an astounding $4 trillion in value since President Trump took office on January 20th, 2025.
