Political uncertainty continues to rise in Europe as Greek politicians fail to build a government and more EU leaders, including German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble, raise the possibility of an exit from the monetary union.

Spain, said Roubini, will lose market access by the end of this year. Still, the economist admitted to having 35% of his money in U.S. equities on a can-kicking earnings recovery.
