UK: too much gloom
Article Abstract:
UK share prices could benefit from an increase in liquidity and low interest rates during the months from Mar 1996, according to Societe Generale Strauss Turnbull. Takeovers are also likely to be encouraged by low interest rates. Mergers may take place prior to an election in case more controls are imposed on mergers following the election. The UK market does not appear likely to crash but share prices could weaken later in 1996 if monetary policy tightens, and due to concern over a forthcoming election.

UK equities: playing safe
Article Abstract:
UK share prices are vulnerable to a drop in prices in the US, and there are domestic factors which could also affect share prices. Political uncertainty with the possible election of a Labor party government could affect prices, and the impact of pound sterling on corporate profit is another factor that could hit shares. UK interest rates may also be raised, and there is concern about share valuations. Strong domestic demand could, however, help boost UK shares.
