Our new conservative 1999 ordsprog

Our new conservative 1999 Dow target is 12,000/12,300 based solely on the fact that interest rate concerns are behind us for a while and now we have improved earnings expectations ahead of us.

Global interest rates are having an effect. ... We've seen a pickup in interest-rate expectations in the U.S., and I think that's leading to concerns about the growth outlook, which is hitting the more cyclical sectors.

Investors, ... ...say that when interest rates go up, avoid the financial stocks. Last year, interest rates went up a lot, both the short-end and the long-end. [But] in fact, financial companies reported very good earnings. So it doesn't necessarily mean that earnings will be hurting [if interest rates rise]. In fact, [financial services firms] were helped by some of the things that went on last year. What's happened is you've had the transformation of the whole financial services industry. Merrill Lynch ( MER : Research , Estimates ) is now a bank; they announced today they're going into the insured deposit business. They're an Internet company as well. They're no longer just an interest-rate sensitive company.

If the rate expectations continue to come down, Hong Kong, as an interest rate sensitive market will likely benefit. Moreover, if the interest rate expectations drop, the U.S, growth expectations will also taper off. This will also encourage money to flow from the growth sensitive markets, notably Korea and Taiwan. Hong Kong will be an idea destination.

In January, April and July, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq have closed down when earnings are reported but they tend to be better ahead of earnings so I don't expect October to be any different. It's a very volatile market and things shift very quickly but the expectations are just so high ahead of earnings.

We have to get these interest rate increases behind us and the Fed did hold off this last time, but I think there's still a possibility of another rate increase later in the year. And that's weighing on investor's minds. Earnings have slowed down a little bit. The interest rate increases to date have had an effect and we're seeing some earnings disappointments at some companies and that has investors concerned. But on the other hand, we have the mergers and acquisitions that tend to buoy up the prices in whatever sectors affected from one day to the next and that will keep investors interested in stocks certainly.

Stocks are not reacting to good (earnings) news. Next week begins the real flood of what should be very closely watched reports. If the good earnings news is not able to buoy the market, it's because of interest rate concerns.

It could be, ahead of earnings, the market is trying to separate out the banks it thinks will actually do well even in the higher interest rate environment,

Property shares had a technical rebound, but interest rate concerns will still affect properties until there are signs that the U.S. interest rate cycle will end.

Techs were hot and everything else was not on confusion about the future of interest rates. When the interest-rate picture is cloudy, the focus turns to earnings. And earnings in the tech sector have been good.

There has been a shift this week towards expectations of another U.S. interest rate rise in March -- the interest rate differential is there and it is helping the dollar.

We've had a decided turn from flights of fantasy to a return to reality in terms of valuations, ... They are pressured by high price-to-earnings ratios and ongoing (interest) rate hike concerns.

But it's nothing really fundamental: Is it interest rates backing up in the U.S.? Rate expectations backing up? Or the fact that the dollar fell too far too fast last week? It's probably a combination of all of that.

I think what really triggered the rally was the surprise cut by (Federal Reserve Chairman Alan) Greenspan in interest rates. But earnings have been good enough to continue the rally. Now the concern going forward is: Can earnings grow in 1999.
