JPMorgan Chase reported a 9% increase in first-quarter net income to $14.6 billion, exceeding analyst expectations. However, CEO Jamie Dimon warned of "considerable turbulence" in the US economy, citing geopolitical factors, inflation, and high asset prices.

Dimon's warning, coming amid Trump's trade tariffs, fueled concerns about a potential recession.
