Part 2/8:

Dimon's caution stems from notable increases in inflation, which has seen a steady climb over the last five months. Since bottoming at 2.4% in September, inflation rates have ticked up sequentially, now standing at 3% as of January. This increase in inflation is alarming for stock market stability, hinting at deeper economic issues that could lead to broader market downturns.

Consequently, attention also turns to the Federal Reserve's recent actions regarding the federal funds rate. After aggressive hikes throughout 2022, a strategy aimed at controlling inflation, the Fed maintained a steady rate into 2023. However, recent cuts could prompt renewed inflation pressures, reminiscent of economic patterns observed in the 1970s and 1980s.
