Roubini, Edwards Predict Slump in S&P 500 on China
Jan. 23 (Bloomberg) -- Stocks will retreat around the world because of shrinking demand from China as growth in the third- biggest economy slows, said Nouriel Roubini, the New York University professor who predicted last year's financial crisis. Global equities will fall 20 percent from current levels as China, which contributed 19.5 percent to total growth in 2007, contends with its slowest expansion in seven years, he said. Wall Street strategists predict the Standard & Poor's 500 Index will rise 29 percent this year from the closing level yesterday. Emperor's Clothes Posted by: Besoeker 2009-01-23 |
