Bet your bottom dollar on the leadership of Wall Street
Article Abstract:
The world stock market is dominated by Wall Street, and will sometimes be hit by setbacks. The US tends to increase liquidity following stock market crashes, and reductions in US interest rates would probably follow a crash, with major liquidity injections into markets. European stocks will be affected by Wall Street in the short term, and will tend to be bolstered by a number of factors such as greater merger and acquisition activity. There is growth in the information industry, though it is difficult to asess whether any particular stock will perform well, and unit trusts are a way of gaining exposure to the sector while reducing risk levels.

Wall Street: squeezed dry
Article Abstract:
Earnings growth of US firms has been pushed up by cutting wage costs. Profits account for a high level of national income previously reached in 1979. Workers are able to accept low pay levels and job shedding due to press coverage of job losses. Some analysts, such as Stephen Roach from Morgan Stanley, foresee resistance to low pay, which could lead to inflation. Inflation could also be pushed up for other reasons such as a cold winter.
