By Business Desk
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon defends India’s purchase of discounted Russian oil, arguing it prevents global energy price spikes and stabilizes markets.
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon has publicly supported India’s strategy of purchasing discounted Russian oil despite Western sanctions. Dimon argued that if India had ceased buying Russian crude, it would have significantly reduced the global supply, leading to a sharp increase in oil prices that would have harmed the global economy.
