Divided opinion
Article Abstract:
There are divisions within fund managers which have led to a lack of decisive moves since managers are fearful of underperforming in the short term. Meanwhile, the US Treasury has pointed out that agency debt is different from government sovereign debt, and this has led to a move into Treasury bonds. Agency debt is not sovereign-guaranteed, though it is government sponsored. In Britain, many growing comapnies are seeking funding and wish to avoid bank debt. Raising capital can be difficult, despite large numbers of venture capital companies.

Article Abstract:
Major equity markets tend to move together, as is shown by events in Aug 1997 when markets dropped together. Correlations have increased between major markets in 1996 and 1997, according to NatWest Markets' Edmond Warner. World economies have become more integrated, and international influences on equity markets have become more important. The Japanese market is an exception to this trend, having become less correlated with that of the US. Japan could be a safe haven if US stocks fall, but there is no certainty about this.

Article Abstract:
Goldman Sachs does not forecast a world bear market for equities, nor does it foresee deflation. The financial crisis in Asia will have some effect but will not have a major impact on economies in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Equities will be helped by world profit growth. Goldman Sachs favors European equities and to some extent Japan, but is underweight in the US and emerging economies. Asia is less favored than Latin America among emerging economies.
