Equity investors face the issues of 1998
Article Abstract:
United Kingdom corporate earnings growth could slow in 1998, but this is less likely to affect stock prices than interest rates and inflation. Inflation could drop due to the Asian financial crisis and the strength of pound sterling, which could mean that interest rates may be cut. An increase in unit wage costs could, however, mean that interest rates have to rise. There is uncertainty over whether government security yields will rise, and about the impact on stock prices if they do rise. Stocks may benefit from greater creditworthiness of companies at the peak of the 1990s business cycle compared to the previous cycle.
