UK equities: priced in

Article Abstract:

UK share prices may have already taken into account the possibility that the government may change, according to UBS. The UK could still be affected by problems in US markets. There is also a risk that the UK government could pursue too loose fiscal and monetary policies which would push up inflation in 1997. There are some factors that could push up share prices though this effect is not likely to last for long. These factors include an increase in takeovers or a drop in support for the UK Labor party.

UK equities: buy on weakness

Article Abstract:

Morgan Stanley sees good prospects for UK economic growth in the two years from 1996. Consumption, manufacturing and contruction should be strong and profit margins should widen as turnover grows rapidly. The share of corporate profit as a proportion of gross domestic product (GDP) may increase which will mean that high share prices are more sustainable. Equities still have advantages for investors compared to government securities, according to Morgan Stanley.
