], while in 2008 the opposite was true, Faber said Wednesday. This year, we bottomed out on the S&P 500 index but the dollar was weak.

China's stock market bottomed out in October last year and has recently shown signs of weakness, while Russia is down 20 percent from the peak, he added.
"I expect now for the next couple of months a period of a recovering dollar and weak assets," Faber said. "A strong dollar means global liquidity tightening."
The dollar will strengthen because the US economy is the least cyclical, but developing countries are more exposed.
"In a scenario where growth will be disappointing, I think emerging markets are vulnerable. I think we had huge increases in stock prices, a lot of markets have doubled in price," he said.
