[Dalio Says Fed's Quantitative Easing May Exacerbate Bubble Risks] Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio stated that the Federal Reserve's current quantitative easing policy is fueling bubbles and effectively monetizing government debt. He pointed out that when the supply of U.S. Treasury bonds exceeds demand, the Fed prints money to purchase bonds, and the Treasury shortens debt maturities to compensate for the lack of demand for long-term bonds, reflecting the dynamics of the 'late stage of the long-term debt cycle.' Dalio believes this policy combination is more dangerous and inflationary, akin to a bold 'big gamble' betting on growth, particularly growth driven by artificial intelligence. He emphasized the need for close monitoring to address potential risks.
