Jeffrey Gundlach, co-founder of DoubleLine Capital, said the stock market is in for a “bumpy ride” as expectations are dashed that President-Elect Donald Trump can quickly spur growth.
Gundlach, who first predicted the outcome of the election in January, said Trump doesn’t have a magic wand to rapidly improve the economy. He said federal programs take time to roll out, rising mortgage rates and monthly payments aren’t positive for the psyche of the middle class, and supporters of defeated Hillary Clinton are not in a mood to spend money.
