JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s dealmakers are spending their time in the Swiss Alps huddling with ebullient clients, but the boss of the biggest US bank is striking a more cautious tone.

“Asset prices are kind of inflated” in the US stock market, Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon said in a CNBC interview Wednesday from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. “You need fairly good outcomes to justify those prices, and we’re all hoping for that.
