James van Geelen, founder of Citrini Research, warns bond markets overreacted to AI-driven economic fears, predicting a correction after his earlier viral post triggered a stock selloff in February 2026. His 7,000-word Substack analysis, outlining a potential AI-induced economic collapse, amplified Wall Street’s anxieties about AI displacing traditional industries, sparking a broad market downturn. Van Geelen now argues the Federal Reserve’s rate-cut expectations were prematurely abandoned, claiming bond yields have overshot fundamentals amid AI disruption concerns. Investors initially dumped stocks tied to AI-vulnerable sectors, but his latest stance suggests bonds—now reflecting aggressive hawkish bets—may reverse as AI’s long-term impacts remain uncertain. The shift highlights growing tensions between AI’s disruptive potential and traditional monetary policy, with van Geelen positioning himself as a contrarian voice against prevailing market pessimism.

The founder of Citrini Research was unexpectedly thrust into the global spotlight after his 7,000-word Substack post went viral by feeding into Wall Street’s worst fears right when investors were dumping the stocks of any company at risk of being displaced by artificial intelligence.
