Ray Dalio, Founder of Bridgewater: AI Boom in Early Bubble Stage, Fed Will Further Inflate the Bubble

Hedge fund manager Ray Dalio warned that the AI boom, which previously drove Wall Street tech stocks higher, is now in the early stage of a bubble. He pointed out that in 2025, the U.S. stock market significantly lagged behind non-U.S. stocks and gold assets. “Clearly, investors prefer non-U.S. stocks over U.S. stocks; similarly, they favor holding non-U.S. bonds over U.S. bonds and cash in dollars.” Dalio added, “Of course, future Fed policy directions and productivity growth are highly uncertain.” He stated, “All signs indicate that the new Fed Chair and Federal Open Market Committee are likely to push down nominal and real interest rates. While this will support asset prices, it will also further inflate the bubble.” (Cailian Press)
