Wall Street: jobs dilemma
Article Abstract:
US bond and equity markets have been affected by the release of data showing that employment has risen by more than expected. A view that US interest rates would be reduced due to concern over a possible recession has changed, and the view in April 1996 is that rates may be raised. Some analysts see manufacturing industry as weak. There is also little inflationary pressure from wage demands so there may be no need to raise US interest rates.

Wall Street: two economies
Article Abstract:
The US services sector is performing more strongly than manufacturing industry, which has shed 107,000 jobs in the three months to April 1996 compared with 618,000 jobs created in the economy as a whole. Inventory problems may be linked to weak output, but export are unlikely to increase by much as inventory problems ease. High bond yields could also affect activity in services and would especially affect the housing market.
