On June 18th, Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, shared his insights, warning that the global economy is teetering on the edge of a “cliff” and that the period spanning from the 2026 U.S. midterm elections through the 2028 presidential elections will be particularly precarious. Dalio highlighted that the U.S. fiscal landscape is continuing to worsen: federal spending stands at roughly $7 trillion, while annual revenue comes in around $5 trillion, pushing the nation’s deficit to nearly 40%. Compounding this, demand for U.S. Treasury bonds is dropping. Adding to strains, debt holders’ growing concerns over potential sanction risks are deepening the supply-demand imbalance in the market.

June 18: A Michigan federal judge ruled that sports-related prediction market transactions do not qualify as swaps regulated by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), so they are not subject to the agency’s regulatory jurisdiction. The court also rejected a request from prediction market platform Polymarket to block Michigan regulators from restricting its sports event contracts, stating the platform is “unlikely to prevail on the merits of its case.” The ruling noted that the sports prediction contracts in question are closer to illegal sports betting than federal derivative products. The case will move to the U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, with a potential final appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
