NEW YORK -- Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, America's largest bank, sounded the alarm Thursday over the Sino-American trade talks if the two sides cannot come to terms.

"We believe the odds are high that a fair trade deal will eventually be worked out -- but if not, there could be serious repercussions," Dimon wrote in a shareholder letter released that morning. His annual letters, much like those of Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett, are closely followed and dissected by market watchers.
