Dalio Flags Market Risks Amid Trump’s Tariffs, Points to Gold Rally
Global markets face heightened uncertainty as former U.S. President Donald Trump signals potential tariff actions. Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, warns these developments inject unpredictability into U.S. economic policy, with Ripple effects across asset classes.
Central banks’ shifting monetary policies compound the stress, creating friction between currency holders and dependents. Dalio highlights gold’s outperformance versus tech assets, positioning it as a critical hedge in volatile markets. The specter of tariffs may accelerate capital flight from U.S. assets, reshaping global investment flows.
