(New York)

One of the world’s most famous fund managers has just gone on the record warning investors that the next recession is likely to lead to a brutal reckoning for markets. Paul Tudor Jones, famed for making a killing in the stock market crash of 1987, said that “highly dubious” asset prices are going to be hit as monetary policy exhausts quickly. He is worried that the US does not have any fiscal stabilizers to help ease a recession. Jones believes that interest rates will normalize and that asset prices will fall in the very long run.

FINSUM: This is a lot of doom and gloom, but it is hard to imagine it really being this bad. A bear market, maybe, but a total collapse seems unlikely.
