JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon said the war in Ukraine and inflation are two uncertainties that threaten the economy as the Federal Reserve considers ways to combat elevated prices by raising rates and shedding bond holdings. Producer prices rose at 12-month rate of 11% in March, more evidence inflation is running hot a day after the consumer price index reading for the month showed inflation at multi-decade highs.
More bank earnings are expected on Thursday, including reports from Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (NYSE:GS), Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS), Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE:WFC) and Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:C). Big banks are expected to show subdued results because of a slump in investment banking and capital markets activity in the first quarter.
