Investing.com -- Jamie Dimon, the chief executive officer of JPMorgan (NYSE: JPM), made several comments on the current state of the market and trade deals today during an interview on Fox Business. He stated that it's 'perfectly reasonable' to consider the trade situation as unfair, indicating some imbalance in the current trade agreements.

Dimon suggested that progress on trade deals could help to stabilize the markets. He did not provide specifics on how this progress might be achieved, but his comments underscore the importance of trade agreements in maintaining market stability.

In terms of credit issues, Dimon expressed a less optimistic outlook. He stated that he is not currently seeing defaults, but he expects them to occur in the future. Furthermore, he anticipates more credit problems than have been seen in a long time. This suggests a potential increase in credit risk for borrowers and lenders alike.

On the topic of a potential recession, Dimon stated that it is 'probably' a 'likely outcome'.

In terms of staffing, Dimon mentioned that JPMorgan has implemented some headcount controls. However, he clarified that the company is not forcing cuts at this time. This could suggest a cautious approach to staffing in light of the economic conditions mentioned above.

These statements from Dimon provide insight into his views on the current market conditions and potential future developments.
