Ray Dalio | The First Domino Just Fell - A Failed Treasury Auction Started Stage 3

For more than three decades, Ray Dalio has studied a recurring pattern: rising government debt, a central bank facing mounting political pressure, and foreign investors gradually reducing their purchases of U.S. Treasury bonds. Today, those three forces are aligning once again. A recent Treasury auction has revealed what many investors have been overlooking, suggesting that the next phase of the economic cycle may already be underway. In this video, we explore Dalio's Stage 3 of the Big Debt Cycle, why this shift is far more important than daily market headlines, and the four-asset strategy his long-term research suggests could help investors navigate the next 18 months. In this video you'll learn: Why global demand for U.S. Treasury bonds is weakening. How today's environment compares with major turning points in 1971, 1978, and 2008. What central bank currency swap lines may be signaling about the global financial system. Why Dalio's framework highlights assets such as GLD, XLE, SCHP, and VXUS in the current macro environment.
