DoubleLine’s Gundlach Warns of Fiscal Crisis in Next Recession
Jeffrey Gundlach of DoubleLine Capital warns the next US recession could spark a debt crisis, pushing long-term Treasury yields sharply higher instead of falling. That breaks the old belief that bonds stay safe in a downturn. For Indian investors holding US bonds or global funds, prices could fall when you expect protection. Review your portfolio's bond exposure and keep durations short.
Key Statutory Highlights
- Gundlach said a US recession could push the budget deficit to 12% of GDP and yearly interest expense to about $3 trillion.
- He said the Federal Reserve might repeat Operation Twist or restructure Treasury debt by cutting coupons on outstanding bonds.
- He pointed to broken market relationships, such as gold and copper against Treasury yields, since 2020 as proof of a regime change toward higher interest rates.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you hold US bonds or global debt funds, consider checking your portfolio's exposure and duration with your advisor, since this is one expert's warning and not a confirmed outcome.
