Expect a setback in September
Article Abstract:
The UK stock market is not likely to perform well in Sep 1995. Share prices fell in Sep 1994, and this is common in Sep, especially if share prices have dropped in the previous Jan. This has occurred in 12 of 14 years since 1937. Wall Street tends to see price falls in Sep and UK share prices tend to be linked to those of the US. The high levels of share prices in Aug 1995 means that there is a risk above 50% that prices will fall before the end of the year, if past trends are extrapolated.

France: dull performer
Article Abstract:
French share prices have been affected by Alain Madelin leaving the post of finance minister. French equities have underperformed in the context of equities in Europe as a whole during 1995. France has retained a policy of keeping the value of the French franc high.Madelin was in favor of tight fiscal policy seen as necessary to make the strong franc policy work. The exchange rate policy could chnage and this would boost the value of French share prices.
