In his June 11, 2024, webcast “1968,” DoubleLine Founder and CEO Jeffrey Gundlach likens that year of civil strife, labor strikes, political violence and war to today’s “multiplication of tensions around the world.” He begins with a retrospective (1:12) of milestone events in 1968. After that backdrop, Mr. Gundlach begins a broad review of macroeconomic and financial market readings, including an in-depth dive into inflation data and labor readings “on the brink of, but too early to declare, recession.”
