Ray Dalio Says US ‘Likely’ Going to Be in a Recession

Bridgewater Founder Ray Dalio said a US recession is likely, but it won’t be a “normal recessionary kind of situation” because “we are changing the monetary order.” Dalio spoke with Bloomberg's Francine Lacqua about the impact of tariffs enacted by President Donald Trump.

Honestly, I’m more concerned about how all this uncertainty is draining people financially. It’s not just about whether we’re in a technical recession it's how people are living paycheck to paycheck while trying to guess what’s coming next. Inflation, weird debt markets, political instability… It's overwhelming

[oneillbilder]

Honestly, this situation makes me feel uneasy, particularly with the Fed's decision to cut interest rates by 50 bps. It indicates deeper economic concerns, and I'm uncertain about my $130K investment strategy, especially with the possibility of not just a recession but potentially a depression.

Tired of the "recession is coming!" threat. Recessive periods come along with equivalent market opportunities if you are well informed and equipped, I've seen folks amass wealth in the midst of economic turmoil and even pull it off easily in favorable conditions. Invariably, the collapse is getting somebody somewhere rich

Usually Ray is at home for these interviews. Today he's in the office, suit jacket on... this is getting serious.

2000: Dot com crash
2008: Housing debacle
2020: Covid
2025: No reason at all whatsoever

[strixytom]

Dalio is right. This last month has started a catastrophic chain reaction and there is no putting the genie back in the bottle.

This global recession/collapse might end up being a part of us for a very long time. With inflation currently at about 3%, my primary concern is how to maximize my savings/retirement fund of about $680k which has been sitting duck since forever with zero to no gains.

If you read Ray Dalio's book, the one talks about changing world order, he actually predicted this situation in a way. And I think he's seriously concerning about military conflict, or possibly more than that.

Make America Great DEPRESSION Again!!!

For a country built on debt and depend more on importation than exporting is at risk of Inflation and recession most especially when there is a tariff war, also if the government spends more than it earns, because they just print more money to make up the difference. To solve inflation, the government have to adjust the importation and less debt free. Your tax dollars should be spent well too, not poorly.

[rohitbanglore]

This time he might be correct. UST is no longer the safest asset. US Monetary stability is at risk

[feixie]

Funny enough, the only people who pays attention to his prophecies are the chinese because they're actually interested in history

Listen to what Ray Dalio says at the end about bonds. Their value is being questioned & it’s causing issues with the basis trade & could lead to a 2008 or worse financial crisis

[relaxgood]

This 90 day pause tells me that a recession is coming. The uncertainty will be ongoing and many small and medium sized businesses are not going to survive this.

[luanvoable]

I remember that Ray Dalio has been saying US would be likely going to Recession for many years. One day, US will be in Recession and he would say "Aha, I told you"

[blockchaineducatedintervie]

This is a man who didnt back bitcoin and didnt agree with it, and then flipped his narrative 12 months later and said he has a piece of it.

[HiranyaGarbh.]

Dalio knows very well that GDP was anyway a number pumped up by debt or lets say money printed out of thin air. He has been trying to educate people about this for many months now.

[benjamindover]

Guys, drop everything, Ray Dalio has something to say. Its the same thing he always says. But we have to take it seriously for some unknown reason.

[ianmcintyre]

Dalio has been calling fot this for a decade...

[ArnyTrezzi]

I get more bullish when I hear Dalio talking recessions
