His comments come at a time when the big US banks are preparing to present their third-quarter results from Friday.

Wall Street’s benchmark S&P 500 .SPX index has lost nearly 24% so far this year, with all three major US indices trading in bear market territory.

Dimon said the S&P 500 could drop “another easy 20%” from current levels , with the next 20% drop likely “going to be a lot more painful than the first,” according to CNBC reporting.

Earlier this year, Dimon called on investors to prepare for an economic “hurricane ,” after JPMorgan, the largest US investment bank, suspended share buybacks in July after failing to meet Wall Street’s quarterly expectations. Street.
