Old fears that haunt the markets again: there is a clearly discernible feeling that inflation is edging back into investor awareness

Article Abstract:

There is likely to be considerable discussion about what is the appropriate level for the UK stock market as the Budget approaches and uncertainty continues on Wall Street. The market is currently characterized by nervousness, especially because of a growing awareness that investors are beginning to become concerned about inflation again. Some observers believe that the growing of monetary aggregates gives a strong indication of a forthcoming period of higher inflation, both in the UK and the US.

Article Abstract:

Financial markets often respond in very unexpected ways to economic developments. Most recently, Wall Street declined dramatically after the release of data indicating a decline in unemployment in the US. It is clear that markets react negatively to economic trends which have not been anticipated, even if these trends are positive. Markets seem to always need to have some sort of concern. The latest is that interest rates will probably not fall much further.

Article Abstract:

Some observers believe that recent developments, particularly the fall in technology stocks, indicate that the bull market in New York is coming to an end. The final collapse could well be prompted by a profits warning from a large US company, or by moves on interest rates by the Federal Reserve. Many private investors could withdraw money from mutual funds if markets do start to fall.
