Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, warned that despite recent signs of easing inflation, there are still multiple inflationary forces at play, such as large fiscal deficits, infrastructure needs, and global trade restructuring2. He stated that inflation and interest rates may remain higher than the market expects.

The monthly inflation rate in June declined by 0.1% from May, marking the first time it has decreased in more than four years. This has led to speculation that the Federal Reserve may soon cut interest rates. The 12-month rate now stands at 3%, around its lowest level in more than three years.
