Wall Street legend Paul Tudor Jones says a recession could hit the US this fall
Read Original Source
The US could be in for a recession as soon as this fall, as the bubble in asset prices that's inflated in recent years begins to deflate, legendary investor Paul Tudor Jones said. In an interview with CNBC on Monday, Jones pointed to the massive boom in debt and asset prices following the pandemic, when the Fed dialed back interest rates to near-zero in order to prop up the economy. That led the S&P 500 to soar to an all-time-high in late 2021.
