Billionaire hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones believes the stock market is poised for a powerful surge before reaching the final phase of its bull run.
Speaking on CNBC’s Squawk Box, the Tudor Investment founder said that today’s market setup feels strikingly similar to the one seen in late 1999, just before the dot-com bubble burst.
“My guess is that all the ingredients are in place for some kind of a blow off,” Jones said. “History rhymes a lot, so I would think some version of it is going to happen again. If anything, now is so much more potentially explosive than 1999.”
Jones pointed to rising speculation, skyrocketing technology shares, and the AI investment frenzy as key parallels to the late 1990s. He noted that circular deals and vendor financing within the artificial intelligence sector are beginning to echo the excesses that fueled the previous bubble.
However, Jones emphasized a crucial difference this time: the U.S. fiscal and monetary backdrop. With robust government spending and supportive monetary policy, he believes the bull market still has room to run before reaching its “blow-off” top.
The Nasdaq Composite, heavily weighted toward mega-cap tech companies, has already soared 55% since April, hitting consecutive record highs. The rally has been powered by investor enthusiasm for artificial intelligence and the future earnings potential of tech giants.
While Jones cautioned that speculative behavior could lead to an overheated market, his outlook suggests significant upside potential remains in the near term — particularly as investor optimism continues to build around AI-driven innovation.
