DoubleLine CEO Jeffrey Gundlach explores the increasingly surreal disconnect in markets, policy and economic data. Drawing inspiration from surrealist art, Mr. Gundlach highlights how traditional relationships – like those among interest rates, inflation and U.S. dollar – are breaking down. He discusses the Federal Reserve’s uncertain policy path, the flattening of inflation progress and why long-term U.S. Treasury bonds remain under pressure despite economic softness. With volatility rising and recession signals flashing, Mr. Gundlach warns that the old playbook might no longer apply.
Mr. Gundlach is CEO of DoubleLine. In 2011, he appeared on the cover of Barron's as "The New Bond King." In 2013, Institutional Investor named him "Money Manager of the Year."
