European banks are the bigger risk to the risk-on rally

 ET Now: So what is the bigger risk to the risk-on rally? Will it be China or credit bubble in Japan or a real estate bubble in Asian markets?

Marc Faber: The risk for me globally is really European banks and financial institutions and a market that is already quite high. We are not at the 2009 lows. Many markets have gone up 100 per cent. Thailand is up almost 4 times from the 2009 lows. So we have very extended markets. Many countries in Asia have an asset bubble in real estate and we have the Chinese economy which, I believe, is growing at present at a much slower rate than what the official statistics would suggest. - in a recent interview with ET Now

Emerging Markets atre Different

Emerging markets have to be looked at in a segregated way. Some of them have performed very well this year, and the markets like the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand and also India performed well last year. Others have performed miserably like China and Vietnam. So we have to look at each emerging market separately. I do not think that Cyprus has a large impact on emerging markets, but we have to see that the markets in general are overbought and any news, no matter how irrelevant it is, will have an impact and they lead to a correction or even a sharp decline.
