NEW YORK (CNNMoney)

Investors are concerned that financial turmoil stemming from the heavily indebted island nation, where the European Union is trying to impose a one-time tax on bank accounts, will spread to Russia, Europe and even Wall Street.

"We believe the [EU] decision on Cyprus was a dangerous move, with the potential to have knock-on effects elsewhere," wrote Gizem Kara and analyst co-authors from BNP Paribas, in a research note. "Although the immediate impact may be contained if the decision is deemed to be unique in Cyprus, due to its special circumstances, a precedent has been set."

The Cypriot parliament still has to decide on the tax, which would directly affect many Russian investors who have deposited money in Cypriot accounts.
