Jeffrey Gundlach, chief investment officer of DoubleLine Capital, is worried the Fed will go too far.

The investor told CNBC that while he believes the Fed will likely do a 75 basis point rate hike at its next meeting, he prefers 25 basis points because he is concerned the Fed might oversteer the economy and hasn’t paused long enough to see what effect the previous hikes have already had.
