\n <\/span> has some way to run.<\/p>\nAt a 2022 Sohn Investment Conference the investor and chief of Duquesne Family Office said: “My best guess is that we’re six months into a bear market,” Bloomberg quoted him as saying. <\/p>\n
“For those tactically trading, it’s possible the first leg of that has ended. But I think it’s highly, highly probable that the bear market has a ways to run,” he added. <\/p>\n
His comments echo the weakness seen in US stock markets, which have tumbled this year. The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 has dropped 24% year-to-date while the S&P 500 has lost 16%. Stocks continued their descent overnight as investors prepared for key inflation data on Friday. <\/p>\n
Druckenmiller said the driver of those losses is down to the <\/p>\n
\n Federal Reserve
\n
\n <\/span> and the central bank’s approach in fighting inflation that he says will ultimately lead the US into a <\/p>\n
\n recession

\n <\/span> at some point next year, CNBC reported. <\/p>\nIn May, the Fed raised the benchmark rate by 0.5 percentage points, its first double-sized hike since 2000 to bring down inflation and draw a line under years of easy monetary policy. <\/p>\n
Geopolitical factors are also putting pressure on stock markets, Druckenmiller said.<\/p>\n
“Given the extent of the asset bubble and the destruction in the markets, given what’s going on in Ukraine, giving zero Covid policy in China, I don’t take a lot of comfort from that,” he said. “So I assume, and pretty strongly, soon we’re going to have a recession sometime in 2023.”<\/p>\n
When it comes to investing himself, Druckenmiller said he’s taking a step back from trading. “I’ve lived through enough bear markets, that if you get aggressive in a bear market, on the short side, you can get your head ripped off in rallies. I’m pretty much taking a break,” he said. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
