UK equities: 4000 but..
Article Abstract:
Goldman Sachs has forecast a possible rise in the UK FT-SE 100 share index to 4000 by mid-1996. Levels of new issues are low and this, combined with bids, will leave institutional investors with funds to reinvest in shares. They are less keen on foreign equities and UK government securities, so will tend to invest in UK shares. Reductions in taxes and government spending will benefit markets. Lower interest rates are likely if economic activity is weak, and this will tend to push up share prices for insurers and banks.

UK equities: a fine path
Article Abstract:
UK equities may not see major rises in 2nd half 1997, according to BZW. Profits could be affected by the high value of pound sterling and tax increases. Fund managers may prefer to invest in government securities rather than equities. The Budget could hit stocks if it is not tight enough and government borrowing increases, or it could hit corporate earnings through higher taxes. Banks and utilities appear attractive sectors among UK equities.
