Dalio Says US at Beginning of ‘Late, Big-Cycle Debt Crisis’ (2:30 p.m. ET)

“We are at the beginning of a late, big-cycle debt crisis when you are producing too much debt and have a shortage of buyers,” Dalio said Wednesday at the conference.

While interest rates won’t go much higher, the economy will get worse, and that could cause more internal strife if the US continues to have political fragmentation, he said.
