Identifies inflation as key risk that 'could go up' from multiple factors, suggesting upward pressure on yields.

Jamie Dimon

Geopolitics more complex today than since WWII with Ukraine, Russia, Iran, North Korea, China.

Could have effect but may not; things may diminish over time.

Jamie Dimon

Asset prices kind of high, lot of complacency in market; one negative outcome would be inflation.

Calls inflation 'skunk at the party'; coming down but leveled at 3%; could go up from construction, insurance, wages, not just oil.
Jamie Dimon

Most important thing is geopolitical: free Western democratic world under attack.

Global deficits large like tectonic plates - may not affect economy short run but determinative long run.
Jamie Dimon

Right now economy doing fine, asset prices high, but need to watch inflation closely.

Little more complacency than there should be; animal spirits growing but inflation is the risk.
