Jamie Dimon says the next credit crisis will be 'worse than people expect' — here's what big bank earnings have revealed

Jamie Dimon has warned that the upcoming credit crisis could exceed current expectations, highlighting concerns about the banking sector's resilience. This statement reflects a potential shift in risk appetite among investors, as fears of increased defaults and tightening credit conditions may lead to capital flows away from financial stocks. Banks like JPMorgan Chase (JPM) are particularly exposed, as their earnings reports may reveal vulnerabilities in loan portfolios and profitability under stress. Traders will be closely watching the upcoming quarterly earnings releases from major banks, which could provide insights into credit quality and the overall health of the financial system.

HIGH-impact news is typically a market-moving event with multi-pip or multi-percent intraday reactions. Examples include central bank rate decisions, major CPI/NFP releases, geopolitical shocks, mega-cap earnings beats/misses, and regulatory announcements. Traders typically position-reduce or hedge ahead of scheduled HIGH-impact events, and follow the wire in real time to react to unscheduled ones (war headlines, central-bank emergency statements, surprise corporate actions). The Trading News Terminal squawk box reads every HIGH-impact headline aloud the moment it hits the wire — so active traders don't have to stare at the feed.

Active traders typically follow a three-step workflow when a market-moving headline hits the wire: (1) read the headline on the terminal or hear it on the squawk box; (2) assess whether the news is already priced in (by checking intraday price action in the seconds before) or whether it's genuinely new information; (3) act — either entering a breakout position, fading an overreaction, or tightening stops on existing trades. Trading News Terminal's Pro plan delivers wire-grade headlines within seconds of the source, with automatic audio squawk on every HIGH-impact event, so the read-assess-act cycle never waits on a refresh button.
