Odaily reports: Legendary hedge fund manager and Tudor Investment founder Paul Tudor Jones said on CNBC's "Squawk Box" that 2027 could be an extremely challenging year for US stocks, with the market potentially facing its most unfavorable capital flow environment since 2002.

He also warned that expanding US fiscal deficits and rising energy prices could further weigh on the stock market. Jones revealed he currently holds long positions in oil, expecting crude prices to rise another $20 to $25 after the US midterm elections. On the 2027 market outlook, he said bluntly: "I'll be short all year."
