Dimon Warns of Potential Disruption in $30 Trillion Treasury Market
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon anticipates a disruption in the nearly $30 trillion U.S. Treasury market, which may prompt Federal Reserve intervention. Key points include:
- Dimon indicated that regulatory issues are preventing banks from buying when liquidity decreases.
- Bond yields are rising due to investors pulling back from trades linked to Treasury futures.
- Past disruptions led the Fed to initiate a multi-trillion-dollar bond-buying program.
- Proposed reforms include exempting Treasuries from leverage ratio calculations to enable more institutional purchases.
- If regulations remain unchanged, Dimon believes the Fed will need to intervene, which he views negatively.
- A Treasury market crisis could affect global finance and potentially drive investors toward bitcoin as a hedge against instability, similar to trends observed in 2020.
