Dalio Warns AI Bubble Nears Bursting Point as Debt-Fueled Spending Collides with Rising Rates

Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, warned at the Forbes Global CEO Conference in Singapore that the artificial intelligence sector is approaching a critical bursting point. He cited rising global interest rates and the heavy reliance on debt to fund massive AI infrastructure investments as primary drivers. Dalio noted that while equity valuations for tech giants continue to climb to record highs, the cost of capital is increasing, creating a fragile financial structure. He also highlighted the risk of wealth taxes forcing investors to liquidate unrealized gains, which could trigger a market correction. This warning comes despite recent record highs for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100, driven by optimism over technology earnings.

He advocates broad diversification across assets and countries, notes rising long‑term yields and fiscal strains, and argues that non‑government money like gold and Bitcoin could perform well if deficits persist and currencies weaken. He also calls for reducing the budget deficit toward 3% of GDP through spending cuts, higher revenue, and lower interest costs.

Dalio warns US at Suez moment that could redraw global power

Bridgewater founder Ray Dalio frames the U.S. situation as a modern Suez moment, arguing that mounting debt, a shrinking share of global reserves backing the dollar, and threats to the petrodollar at Hormuz could trigger a long, painful reordering of global power even as the U.S. remains the largest economy and military power; the piece stresses that decline would be gradual, not a sudden collapse, and highlights the complex interplay of finance, allies, and strategic leverage in determining the next era of world leadership.
