NEW YORK (Reuters) - JPMorgan Chase & Co (NYSE:)'s CEO Jamie Dimon said the congressional standoff over the U.S. debt ceiling,how to open a real account with mt4 and a potential U.S. default, could create a financial panic, according to an interview with Punchbowl News published on Wednesday.

"Panic isn't necessarily a rational thing," the website quoted Dimon as saying. "People panic. And (when) you see people panic -- that's '08, '09 again, and that's really what you want to avoid."

JPMorgan declined to comment beyond the interview.

"There's a higher chance of a mistake here because of the politics of the situation" with damaging economic consequences, Dimon said. "I hope, one day, we get rid of it," he said, restating a call to scrap the debt limit permanently.

The so-called "X-date" - when the government runs short of cash to pay its obligations - could come as early as June 1.
