US stock markets remain vulnerable despite the robust economic outlook
Article Abstract:
The US stock market is showing signs of insecurity, even though all economic indicators remain positive. There is concern about a series of interconnected factors that could negatively affect the financial basis for the strength of the US economy. These include the weakness of the dollar against the yen and the possibility of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates again. Most observers believe that the stock boom will continue, but that growth will now be much more cautious.
