  • It's time to start worrying about a recession in the US, according to Jeff Gundlach.
  • Soaring bond yields signal that a downturn is coming, the DoubleLine Capital founder said.
  • "If the unemployment rate ticks up just a couple of tenths it will be recession alert," Gundlach wrote on X. "Buckle up."

Bond-market turmoil could be a sign that a recession is on the way, Jeff Gundlach has warned.

The DoubleLine Capital founder said Tuesday that a severe economic downturn is becoming more likely, pointing to the narrowing spread between 2-year and 10-year US Treasury yields.
