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 boosted Wall Street tech stocks, is now in the early bubble stage. He noted 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 dollars.” Dalio added, “Of course, future Fed policies and productivity growth are highly uncertain.” He stated, “All signs point to the new Fed Chair and FOMC likely to push nominal and real interest rates lower. While this supports asset prices, it will also further inflate the bubble.” (Cailian Press)
