Wall Street: tech tensions

Article Abstract:

High technology shares have risen rapidly in value in the US, since this is seen as a growth market, but there are also risks involved. Corporate spending on computers may cease to rise as rapidly, while consumers may delay buying new equipment in the hope that prices will drop if they wait. There has been a general fall in high-technology share prices after profit warnings led to a drop in the price of Cirrus Logic and Novell shares. Speculation has pushed up the price of US high-tech stocks, according to Barton Biggs from Morgan Stanley.

Tech sector for London

Article Abstract:

The London Stock Exchange will establish a technology share sector and index, including shares from a number of other sectors.
