JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon is bracing for a disruption in the near $30 trillion U.S. Treasury market \u2014 one he says could force the Federal Reserve to step in, just as it did during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere will be a kerfuffle in the Treasury markets because of all the rules and regulations,\u201d Dimon said in a Friday earnings call<\/a>, warning that the Fed won\u2019t act until \u201cthey start to panic a little bit.”<\/p>\n

Dimon’s comments come as bond yields spike and market volatility rises. The rising yields have suggested investors are pulling back from popular trades that exploit gaps between Treasury prices and futures, adding stress to a market already rattled by trade tensions under the escalating U.S.-China trade war.<\/p>\n

Dimon said current regulations are keeping banks from stepping in as buyers when liquidity dries up. In 2020, a similar situation forced the Fed to launch a multi-trillion-dollar bond-buying program to keep the market functioning.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s pushing for reforms that would let banks act more freely as intermediaries. One idea under discussion is exempting Treasuries from leverage ratio calculations, which could allow institutions to buy more government debt without hitting capital buffers.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf they don\u2019t [change the rules], the Fed will have to intermediate, which I think is just a bad policy idea,\u201d Dimon said.<\/p>\n

The Treasury market plays a central role in global finance, setting the tone for everything from mortgage rates to corporate bond yields. Dimon warned that if the system locks up again, the consequences could ripple across the economy.<\/p>\n

A Treasury market disruption that leads to Fed intervention could drive some investors toward bitcoin (BTC), which is often seen as a hedge against monetary instability. That appears to have been the case in 2020, when bitcoin’s price surged following the Fed\u2019s aggressive stimulus response. Others factors, including the cryptocurrency\u2019s 2020 halving<\/a> impact, could have also factored into bitcoin’s price jump. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
