JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said overnight that the good times for the U.S. economy may not last much longer.

But that’s a little bit of a sugar high,” Dimon told CNBC TV18 in India. “And that little bit is going to go away and we are hoping we have a soft landing, but all these other things are there- Ukraine, oil, gas, winter, disruption of trade flows.”
“So I think good leadership on the part of America, India, China, Europe, can make sure the negative don’t happen. But I am putting myself in quite cautious category,” Dimon added.
