Ray Dalio Warns US Debt Crisis Could Hit Within Three Years, Urges 15% Gold Allocation
Bridgewater founder Ray Dalio issued a stark warning that the United States could face a debt crisis within three years unless it reduces its deficit to 3% of GDP. Dalio urged investors to underweight bonds and allocate between 10% and 15% of their portfolios to gold, along with a smaller position in Bitcoin, arguing that rising debt levels will force policymakers to either accept higher interest rates or resort to money printing, both of which would weaken currencies and fuel inflation. He pointed to surging deficits, rising interest costs, growing Treasury supply, and weakening demand for US government debt as the structural forces making bonds unattractive and hard assets compelling.
Gold responded to the broader environment, hitting a three-month high amid bond market stress, with some analysts raising the prospect of a move toward $5,000 per ounce. Dalio argued that gold and Bitcoin stand to outperform as investors seek alternatives to government-backed assets in a scenario where sovereign creditworthiness deteriorates.
