Paul Tudor Jones sees a recession ahead
On CNBC’s “Squawk Box”, the Founder of Tudor Investment said the U.S. economy will slide into a recession in the first quarter of 2024 because:
The bond market, simply though supply and demand, is going to deliver more rate hikes because we don’t have a clearing price yet for long-term debt.
The U.S. Federal Reserve has already signalled that interest rates will likely remain higher for longer. An inverted yield curve and gold prices, he added, were telltale signs that we are headed into a recession.
S&P 500 is up 14% versus the start of this year at writing.
