Hedge funds are engaging in a multi-billion-dollar gamble against the U.S. economy, betting that Donald Trump’s presidency will lead to a significant stock market crash, potentially devastating 401(k)s, IRAs, pensions, and individual savings across America.
According to recent data from Goldman Sachs, there has been a dramatic uptick in ‘short’ bets against U.S. stocks, indicating a widespread belief in an impending market collapse. Throughout January, investors placed ten times more bets on American stocks declining than on their continued growth, reflecting deep-seated concerns about the market’s trajectory under Trump’s leadership and sparking concerns about “Trump’s wrath.”
This financial maneuver comes amid a week where major U.S. tech stocks lost $600 billion in value, driven by fears surrounding the rise of Chinese AI competitor DeepSeek, which has challenged the dominance of American tech companies.
“The increase in short bets against U.S. stocks likely reflects concerns about macroeconomic uncertainty,” warned Bruno Schneller, managing partner at Erlen Capital Management to the Daily Telegraph.
The optimism that followed Trump’s re-election led to an unprecedented capital influx, with hedge fund assets reaching a record $4.5 trillion. However, this has now shifted to pessimism, with hedge funds betting against the economy they once championed. While hedge fund billionaires could profit immensely from a market crash, the real losers might be ordinary American investors, whose retirement funds are at stake.
“We’re definitely not betting against President Trump’s economy,” said Jonathan Rose, CEO of Genesis Gold Group. “We are, however, predicting that physical precious metals will be the ultimate beneficiaries of his policies which is why we encourage Americans to do tax-free rollovers and transfers into a Genesis Gold IRA.”
Executives at Elliott Management, a notable hedge fund, have expressed concerns in the Financial Times that Trump’s policies might be inflating speculative bubbles that could “wreak havoc” upon a market crash. The Wall Street consensus seems to be that the market is teetering on the brink, with potential fallout that could be devastating in the very near future.
Trump’s presidency has been backed by influential hedge fund leaders who initially viewed him as a catalyst for unlocking corporate America’s potential. However, a market collapse could leave Trump’s economic supporters facing significant financial losses.
The catalyst for this market panic is the emergence of DeepSeek, a Chinese AI company whose innovative chatbot has triggered a massive sell-off in U.S. tech stocks. DeepSeek, backed by the Chinese hedge fund High Flyer, is known for its sophisticated algorithmic trading strategies.
This scenario might provoke a sharp response from Trump. Allies of the president have hinted at possible regulatory crackdowns on Wall Street’s excesses, especially given this apparent bet against America’s economic stability.
“Whether President Trump hits the hedge funds or not, the prospects for gold and silver remain very high even as they continue to break records,” Rose concluded.
