Six of the worst
Article Abstract:
World equity markets are affected by corporate earnings and interest rates, and five factors are likely to lead to turbulence, according to HSBC James Capel. US interest rates look set to rise, US corporate earnings are likely to disappoint, German interest rates are likely to rise, European monetary union involves uncertainties, and Japan faces a crisis over economic policy. Not many markets are likely to perform better than cash in winter 1997 to 1998, though a major bear market appeas unlikely.

Global markets: liquidity doubts
Article Abstract:
Global liquidity has been boosted by low global interest rates and this has led to asset price inflation, according to Nat West Markets. Central banks have purchased dollar assets and investors have borrowed to purchase assets. Three factors could lead to a reduction in liquidity which would in turn hit share prices. These factors are a possible rise in US inflation, a crisis affecting emerging economies and a rise in interest rates in Japan which could occur prior to the end of 1996.
