The founder of Bridgewater Associates stated that inflation pressures continue to add up as economic growth slows, and policymakers must remain cautious. Dalio said on Monday: "We are undoubtedly in a period of stagflation." Dalio warned that the US economy has entered a stagflation environment and pointed out that if Kevin Warsh, who is likely to succeed as chair of the Federal Reserve, chooses to cut interest rates, it would result in a policy mistake.
