Why Wall Street's Dr. Doom now wants to be Dr. Boom
Nouriel Roubini, who's been known as "Dr. Doom" for 17 years, is feeling more upbeat. The economist has scaled back his recession call and thinks the US is headed for an investment boom. He told BI there are three things that have driven his newfound optimism. Wall Street has been calling him "Dr. Doom" for 17 years, but Nouriel Roubini — the economist famous for his persistently bearish and frequently dystopian takes on the world economy — is sounding surprisingly positive lately. He's rescinded his earlier call for a recession, and now sees a US tech and artificial intelligence investment boom unfolding that will uplift the economy through the rest of this decade. By 2030, Roubini thinks economic growth in the US will double from around 2% to 4%, while productivity growth surges from around 1.9% to 3%. The stock market is also likely to climb higher, he told Business Insider in an interview, predicting the S&P 500 would see high single-digit percentage growth in 2025, on par with its historical return. It's a sharp turnaround from the gloomy forecasts he' is known for. Roubini told BI the nickname started to stick in 2008, when the New York Times referred to him as "Dr. Doom" after he correctly called the Great Financial Crisis, he told BI. "Even before, I always said I'm not Dr. Doom and I'm Dr. Realist, first of all," Roubini said. He said that he's made numerous forecasts that were more bullish than the consensus throughout the years when the evidence lines up. "So I don't know why people think that I'm always Dr. Doom. It's not the case." His outlook, though, has brightened considerably since 2022. Back then, he appeared on TV and penned op-eds warning of a coming stagflationary debt crisis. At the time, he described the turmoil he saw looming as an all-in-one financial crisis involving spiraling debt levels, soaring inflation, and a severe recession. Roubini told BI there are a few things that have gotten him to change his tune. Roubini says he began to hear the murmurs of the AI revolution well before ChatGPT went viral at the end of 2022. In his 2022 book, "Megathreats," he acknowledged the potential for artificial intelligence to significantly boost economic growth and serve as a major tailwind for markets. That's become a reality way faster than Roubini expected, and a major reason he's become more bullish, he told BI. He believes the economy could start to reap the growth and productivity benefits of AI in the next several years, particularly as humanoid robots enter the mainstream. A breakthrough in fusion energy would be another bullish force for the economy, Roubini said. Fusion energy hasn't been achieved yet, but tech firms are pouring vast sums of money into making it happen. Chevron and Google contributed to a more than $150 million funding round this week for TAE Technologies, a fusion energy company that plans to have a working prototype power plant by the early 2030s. Type One Energy, another fusion energy firm, also plans to roll out a power plant by the middle of the next decade. "We're not in an AI winter anymore. We had the fusion winter for 40 years. We're not anymore," Roubini said, pointing to the stagnation in tech and fusion energy development is the past. "Now it's happening." President Donald Trump's tariffs may not be as harmful to the US economy as some investors think, Roubini says. He thinks it's more likely that markets will throw a tantrum and force Trump to walk back his most aggressive policies. That's already happened a few times this year. Roubini pointed to sharp sell-offs in the bond market that preceded Trump's 90-day pause of his "Liberation Day" tariffs, and the softening of his tone regarding firing Jerome Powell. "That means the bond vigilantes are the most powerful people in the world," Roubini said. "The instincts might be very bad, but then, markets are unforgiving," he added of policymakers. Roubini speculates that tariffs on China, for instance, could wind up somewhere around 39%, well-below the 145% tariff rate Trump proposed earlier in the year. Meanwhile, AI, quantum computing, and other tech advancements in the US can more than offset the impact of the trade war, Roubini said. Tariffs are expected to drag down GDP growth by 0.06% a year through 2035, according to estimates from the Congressional Budget Office. It's a fraction of the 2 percentage point increase in growth Roubini expects to see by the end of the decade. Roubini now pegs the odds of a recession to just around 25%. Even if the US enters a downturn this year, Roubini says he expects it to be shallow and short, as the Fed can cut interest rates to boost the economy, while tech powers growth over the long-run. That's not to say Dr. Doom has shed all of his bearish views. Roubini says many of the things he feared several years ago — stagflation, spiraling government debt levels, and rising geopolitical conflict — still loom. He rattled off a list of potential risks the US could conceivably face in the future: migration controls fueling stagflation in the economy, the US dollar collapsing in value, and China and the US not reaching a trade agreement and seeing an escalating cold war, to name a few scenarios. "So there's plenty of stuff in the world that can go wrong," he said. Read the original article on Business Insider Sign in to access your portfolio

Sydney Sweeney Admits Putting Her Bath Water In A Bar Soap Was Her Idea: 'I Pitched It'
Sydney Sweeney is relishing the internet buzz surrounding her recent collaboration with men's grooming brand Dr. Squatch, which features a limited-edition soap named "Sydney's Bathwater Bliss." The actress has numerous projects in the pipeline and is set to release her latest film, "Echo Valley," in which she plays the daughter of Julianne Moore, as they strive to keep a dark secret hidden. Two months after her split from ex-partner Jonathan Davino, Sydney Sweeney broke her silence on her relationship status, confirming she's single. Sydney Sweeney has reacted to her bath water, causing massive buzz on social media after it was featured in her collaboration with Dr. Squatch. The "Anyone But You" star made waves when she announced a new partnership with the men's grooming brand for a limited-edition line of bar soaps that include an unusual key ingredient: her actual bath water. Following an initial Dr. Squatch commercial, where Sweeney appeared in a bubble bath, several fans humorously took to social media to demand that her bath water be featured in the soap, and the brand heeded their call, which has now resulted in a teal-colored bar of soap called Sydney's Bathwater Bliss. "You kept asking about my bathwater after the @drsquatch ad…" she captioned a recent post. "So we kept it." During a recent appearance at the New York premiere of her latest film, "Echo Valley," Sweeney shared more details on the origins of the viral soap. When asked about the unique product, she told E! News, "I pitched it!" Addressing the online chatter, Sweeney commented, "I think it's more fun to see everyone else talk about it." The "White Lotus" star has been busy working on several new projects, as her new Apple TV+ film, "Echo Valley," is set to hit the streaming platform on June 13th. In the film, Sweeney plays the daughter of Julianne Moore as the two battle to keep a dark secret hidden. According to E! News, she noted that the project gave her "so many reasons" to say yes. "The character, Claire, is such a multi-layered, troubled young woman," she explained. "And being able to explore a character that has so many dimensional relationships with their mother, it's fun." Also, she admitted that working opposite the legendary Moore was "such a dream" for her; hence, she couldn't say no. "She is beyond kind," Sweeney gushed. "Like one of the kindest human beings I've ever met." Meanwhile, Sweeney has had to deal with a sad situation in her personal life after calling it quits with her partner of 7 years, Jonathan Davino. The pair began dating in 2018 and got engaged in 2022. In a recent interview with the Sunday Times, she confirmed that she's single again, months after multiple outlets previously reported that they'd called off their engagement and ended their relationship. "I'm learning a lot about myself, spending more time with my friends," she added. "And I'm loving it." People Magazine confirmed that Sweeney called off her wedding to Davino after weeks of speculation about the state of their relationship. A source close to the situation told the news outlet that the actress did not feel "right" about marrying Davino. The source also noted that, unlike some people, Sweeney was not being "overwhelmed" by her busy work schedule, but was instead stressed out about a potential wedding to her then-fiancé. "She's exactly where she wants to be. Most people would feel overwhelmed by her working schedule this year, but not Syd. She's all about working right now and very excited about all her projects," the source said. "What did make her overwhelmed, though, was her relationship and her wedding. She didn't feel right about it," they added. Sweeney opened up about her surprising acting process during an appearance on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" on Thursday to promote her upcoming movie "Echo Valley." While chatting with Fallon, she admitted that she's "kind of psychotic" on set and feels "bad" for her costars while filming specific projects, per the New York Post. "I, like, jump in and out," Sweeney told Fallon after he asked how she prepares for her roles. "It's kind of psychotic." "Like, you're happy and fun, and then…" the late-night host said, to which Sweeney added, "And then they say, 'Action!' and then I'm screaming and crying. And then they call, 'Cut!' and I go, 'What's wrong?'" Elsewhere in her chat with Fallon, Sweeney shared some updates about her "Euphoria" character, Cassie, ahead of the show's upcoming third season. "Cassie is crazy," she told Fallon. "It's the favorite version of her. She's even worse, she's even worse."
