    Thumbs down Gundlach: debt increased by 6+% of GDP, 45% of entire corporate bond market would be junk

    Biden's sudden 8 points lead over Trump and today two more hit pieces on "MAGA is great at managing economic spending narrative" in media today. Not work of Deep State ofcourse. It seems as if they are trying to make it look like 2006-07 economic boom just before housing subprime collapse under Bush that then brought a Democrat savior Obama.

    DoubleLine CEO Gundlach: National Debt is totally out of control


    U.S. debt has climbed to an alarming level, according to DoubleLine CEO Jeffrey Gundlach.
    “People are starting to realize that the deficit and debt are totally out of control,” Gundlach said on CNBC’s “Halftime Report” Tuesday.
    Gundlach said the “main reason” the yield curve between 3-year and 5-year Treasury notes is steepening is the ballooning deficit. Last year, U.S. national debt increased by more than 6% of GDP, he said. An even bigger deficit could mean trouble in a recession, said Gundlach, whose DoubleLine has $130 billion in assets under management.

    Gundlach — sometimes known as the “bond king” — also flagged trouble in the corporate bond market, which got “dragged down” in the “economic mess that we’re in.”
    “The corporate bond market is so much worse today than it was in 2006,” he said.
    Among Gundlach’s concerns: a corporate bond market that has tripled in size, and a BBB-rated bond market that is now bigger than the junk-bond market. Using leverage ratios alone, “45%, not just of the BBB but the entire corporate bond market would be junk right now,” he said, citing figures from Morgan Stanley.

    A recession or downturn could “spark” a wave of downgrades from investment grade bonds into junk bonds, he said.
    “The economy is in such bad shape to withstand a downturn again,” Gundlach said. “The national debt is exploding while we’re having some of the best GDP year over year that we’ve had in recent years.”

    Back in October he said Treasury yields were about to soar. The 30 year rate was 3.25%. Today it is 2.93%. He likes to say things will be bad.

    For investors looking for an inflection point in the bond market, this is it.

    Jeff Gundlach, chief executive of Doubleline Capital, on Thursday projected that U.S. Treasury yields are likely to rise further and investors should adjust accordingly.
