Roubini: Rate Cuts Reduce Crash Risk, But Dow 7,000 Likely 'Sometime Next Year'
In other words, the Dow is going to 7,000, but over the course of months vs. days if Roubini is right, as – unfortunately for bulls – he mostly has been for the past two years. PDF
Roubini: Rate Cuts Reduce Crash Risk, But Dow 7,000 Likely ‘Sometime Next Year’
By Aaron Task in Investing 8 October 2008
Today’s global rate cuts have reduced the risk of a market crash, but won’t resolve the underlying crisis, says NYU economist Nouriel Roubini of RGE Monitor.
But the financial market crisis has unfolded even quicker than Roubini expected (which is saying something), and the economist now thinks the Dow and S&P will suffer 50% declines from last October’s peak vs. 40% previously.
In other words, the Dow is going to 7,000, but over the course of months vs. days if Roubini is right, as – unfortunately for bulls – he mostly has been for the past two years.
“The policy response is going to become more aggressive [but] a steady flow of bad financial and macro economic news is going to push down equity markets,” he says, forecasting a real bottom won’t be hit until “sometime next year.”
Because of growing slack in the global economy, Roubini says deflation is going to become a much bigger threat in the next six months vs. inflation. In such an environment, cash, Treasuries and gold are the only safe bets he says – provided your holdings are within the FDIC’s new $250,000 insurance cap.
