Nouriel Roubini Warns Stocks Could Correct

Another “Dr. Doom” is talking of a stock market correction these days.

Nouriel Roubini, co-founder and chairman of Roubini Global Economics, spoke with CNBC Europe from Lake Como, Italy, last Friday. The former Treasury official in the Clinton administration, who correctly-called the 2008 global financial crisis, talked about the U.S. economy and larger financial system. “Dr. Doom” told viewers don’t expect quantitative easing to go away anytime soon:

Increasingly QE has less effects really on the economy. There is some credit creation right now. There is a positive and so on. But certainly it is becoming ineffective. The trouble is if you take away QE very fast you could have a significant back up in long rates, and that’s going to essentially kill the recovery in its tracks. Therefore, the Fed has no choice but maintaining QE3 for as far as I can see.

In addition, the professor of economics at NYU warned of a possible correction in stocks later this year:

Down the stream, second half of the year, the U.S. stock market could correct somehow.

Definitely more subdued than the other “Doctor Dooms”- Marc Faber and Peter Schiff- on the near-term prospects for the U.S. economy and financial markets.
