Paul Tudor Jones Warns Trump-Era Market Boom Could End in 35% Crash. Here’s Why He’s Still Buying Stocks

💡 Legendary hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones warns of a potential 35% market crash, but still sees value in stocks.

The Federal Reserve delivered a hawkish surprise on Wednesday, signaling that interest rate cuts remain further away than markets had hoped. Fed Chair Jerome Powell told reporters that the central bank needs 'greater confidence' that inflation is sustainably declining before it will consider easing policy.

The 10-year Treasury yield surged to 4.8% in the aftermath, its highest level since October 2023. $TLT fell sharply as bond traders repriced the timing of the first cut from March to June.

Market Boom Risks

Paul Tudor Jones, a hedge fund manager, has been sounding the alarm on a potential market downturn.
