New leap forward beckons for Wall Street

Article Abstract:

US share prices have risen in Feb 1995 despite increases in interest rates and concern about inflation. Optimists argue that US interest rates are peaking and economic growth is slowing, which should curb inflation. Pessimists see further rises in interest rates and argue that a recession is likely. This will push down share prices. Pessimists see share prices as high in relations to bond yields. Investors should be aware of this as share prices rise.

Tyger, tyger, not so bright

Article Abstract:

Thai share prices fell in Mar 1997 to levels not seen since 1992 and share tarding in bank and financial stocks has been suspended by the government. The Thai baht is linked to the US dollar and the rise in its value has hit exports. High interest rates have hit the real estate industry and this could affect the financial system as a whole. Funds have reduced their exposure to the Thai market, though some funds have started to increase exposure again.

Standing at the crossroads: Wall Street's long-running bull market has picked up speed this year, after temporarily stalling in 1994. But now there are major question marks over the extended economic upswing which has powered the bull market

Article Abstract:

Wall Street has shown a rise of 17% during the first half of 1995 continuing the bull market which started in winter 1990. The bull market is distinguished by inflation which fell sharply in 1992, a huge growth in corporate profits, the sustained fall in long term interest rates and the fall in key Federal Funds rates.
