Marc Faber, who told investors to bail out of U.S. stocks before 1987's so-called Black Monday crash, said oil prices may fall to $100 a barrel as demand slows in a global economy at the 'tail end' of its expansion.

Accelerating inflation and rising interest rates worldwide are likely to dent the value of commodities including oil, said Faber at an investment forum in Sydney today. Real-estate in India and Cambodia were among his favored Asian investments, he said.

Japanese stocks, Asian real estate and commodities are investors' best bets as faster inflation erodes returns in the rest of the world's markets, investor Marc Faber said.

'Demand for commodities and oil will not vanish,' Faber. 'The shift in demand that drove up commodity prices is not going to go away.' Inflation may boost Japanese share prices and Asian property will benefit as more people gain access to mortgages, Faber said. Japan's Topix Index has fallen 8.6 percent in 2008.

Asian real estate offers better value than property stocks because the region's equity markets are still 'vulnerable,' said Marc Faber, an investor who predicted the U.S. stock market crash in 1987.

'I'm optimistic about Asia and emerging markets, but the stock markets at the present time are still vulnerable,' said Faber, who oversees $300 million in assets at Hong Kong-based Marc Faber Ltd. 'As an asset class, real estate in Asia presents tremendous opportunities'' as 'urbanization gets under way.'

'If you compare Singapore to an equal city in the western world, like London, New York, Singapore is not expensive, it's reasonable,' Faber said.
