DoubleLine's Gundlach Predicts Recession and Falling Interest Rates in 2024

DoubleLine Capital CEO Jeffrey Gundlach predicts that interest rates will decrease as the economy worsens and enters a recession in early 2024. Gundlach points to indicators such as a rising unemployment rate, an inverted yield curve, and initial waves of layoffs as signs of an economic slowdown. He also expresses concern over the growing federal deficit and unsustainable government spending. Billionaire investor Stanley Druckenmiller shares similar worries about government spending and suggests tough choices in the future, including potential cuts to entitlement programs. Gundlach believes that the Federal Reserve will not be as aggressive as the current dot plot signals, which indicate one more rate hike this year.
