Dr. Doom Nouriel Roubini - The Fed Can't Taper in Any Meaningful Way

Roubini sees a recovery in the U.S. continuing, but that recovery is weak.

Challenges right now are a reduction in government spending and slowing housing recovery.

He sees continued GDP growth below 2%.

He thinks the Fed will either not start to taper or do it in a very limited fashion. He thinks interest rate areas of the economy have already been impacted by a rise in 10-year rates, and further rising wouldn't be positive.

In the video below Roubini weighs in on his view of other areas of the world as well.
