JPMorgan CEO warns hidden market leverage raises risk of sudden disruptions amid record margin debt.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon highlighted concerns about elevated and partly hidden leverage in financial markets, with margin debt at record highs and additional borrowing through hedge funds, prime brokerages, and leveraged ETFs. This hidden leverage increases the risk of sudden market disruptions, though Dimon does not predict a systemic disaster. Meanwhile, Sandisk's mixed guidance weighed on Nasdaq futures, and SpaceX's rocket stage impact on the moon provided a rare scientific opportunity. Additionally, over 900 million SpaceX shares became tradable, significantly increasing the public float and potentially affecting market dynamics.
