No worries
Article Abstract:
US interest rates are not likely to be raised to lower stock prices. A drop in stock prices could occur independently due to earnings growth disappointments and this could lead to a reduction in wealth and confidence which would lead to lower inflation. Asian stocks have become more volatile since te Asian financial crisis started. The Asian crisis has led to increased demand for US stocks, rather than cheap money. There is no need for US interest rates to rise.

Warning
Article Abstract:
US stock prices could fall, according to NatWest Markets, partly because interest rates could rise and this rise may not be fully expected by markets. Wage increases pose an inflationary threat. Earnings growth forecasts may be too optimistic. Stock valuations are also problematic. Stock prices could rise further before dropping, but it is safer to move to cash prior to the likely fall since investors may not otherwise be able to move fast enough.
