JPMorgan’s Dimon Signals Support for Kevin Warsh as Next Fed Chair

Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase & Co., has publicly signaled his support for former Federal Reserve governor Kevin Warsh as a leading candidate to become the next chair of the U.S. central bank, according to a Financial Times report. Dimon expressed these views at a private JPMorgan event for asset‑management executives, where he praised Warsh’s qualifications and suggested he would make an excellent Fed chair. Dimon also commented on rival candidate Kevin Hassett, a key White House economic adviser widely seen as the frontrunner to succeed current Fed Chair Jerome Powell. Dimon noted Hassett may be more likely to deliver the interest rate cuts that President Donald Trump favors, but reiterated that JPMorgan would thrive regardless of who is ultimately chosen. President Trump has indicated he is considering both Warsh and Hassett for the role, saying he is inclined toward one of the “two Kevins.” Trump’s push for a new Fed leader comes as Powell’s term is set to end in May 2026 and after months of political pressure on the Federal Reserve to adopt looser monetary policy. #FedChair #JamieDimon #KevinWarsh #FederalReserve #SlimScan #GrowthStocks #CANSLIM
