Making the right moves in equities

Varying stock market conditions in the US, Europe and Japan offer traders different opportunities. The US stock market is anticipated to break out in the following months before settling into a prolonged bearish pattern late in 1998 or early 1999. The European stock indexes are anticipated to remain high due to influences of corporate restructuring, export growth and the formation of the European Union. Meanwhile, the economic crisis in Asia continue to affect Japan's efforts to stabilize its economy, and as a consequence, has also affected other markets such as Hong Kong, China and Korea.
