Stock deals Market rigging Price cutting.

On the contrary, the real question is why the increase in stock prices has not outpaced growth in corporate earnings. After all, in the 1990 s, the US stock market surge (as in many countries) was fueled by record high price earnings ratios.

Annual growth rates of minimum wage and consumer price indices are as follows

Corporate earnings in Brazil have gone up roughly as fast as stock prices. With the price earnings ratio remaining stable and moderate, the stock market boom does not appear to reflect merely investor psychology.

Yet another reason for the correction is that valuations in stock markets are stretched price earnings ratios are now high, while growth in earnings per share is slackening, and will be subject to further negative surprises as growth and inflation remain low. With uncertainty, volatility, and tail risks on the rise again, the correction could accelerate quickly.

An increase in the stock price of steel manufacturers suggests an increase in the demand for steel, which induces entrepreneurs to start more steel plants and investors to provide them with the money. Conversely, a decrease in the stock price of steel manufacturers leads entrepreneurs to liquidate existing plants and dissuades investors from committing more resources to the sector.

It is impossible to infer solely from an increase in the volume of transactions how the price of oil will change. The price will fall if the increase resulted from growth in supply, and it will rise if the increase resulted from growth in demand.

The US government has been particularly aggressive in supporting the stock market since the peak of the equities price bubble in 2000, most notably cutting interest rates repeatedly. Of course, this was publicly justified in terms of stimulating the economy, not supporting the stock market.

But not all Chinese economists agree. They argue that capital stock is the key factor for growth, and that China s per capita capital stock is still low relative to developed countries, which implies considerable scope for further investment.

If the oil price stays at 40 a barrel, expect it to have next to no effect on short term world GDP growth. But if the oil price remains at or near 60 a barrel, expect everyone's forecasts of GDP growth to be reduced by 1 per year.

Stock markets unusually negative skew is not inconsistent with booming price growth in recent years. The markets have broken all time records, come close to doing so, or at least done very well since 2003 ( the case in Japan) by making up for the big drops incrementally, in a succession of smaller increases.

We have distorted that history by thinking of bubbles as a period of dramatic price growth, followed by a sudden turning point and a major and definitive crash. In fact, a major boom in real stock prices in the US after Black Tuesday brought them halfway back to 1929 levels by 1930.

For instance, they may buy the stock of companies that they know will be awarded a contract by the Government (the price of the stock is likely to go up when a big order is publicly announced, and corrupt officials can then sell the shares at a substantial profit).

This is normally a secondary objective, but it may become central if the economy enters a low inflation credit and asset price boom. It will be important to remember that the central bank s role is not to boost stock prices, but to ensure that the economy s underlying fundamentals and its financial system enable sustainable growth.

The government s alarm at the sharper than expected economic slowdown was reflected in its heavy handed intervention in July to freeze stock markets in the midst of a dramatic price correction. That move was followed this month by a surprise devaluation of the renminbi, which suggests that the shift away from export led growth is not working as hoped.

A panel of experts on FDI presented data related to the growth of FDI outflows from developing countries, this growth being fastest in the Asia Pacific region, which now accounted for nearly three quarters of developing country outward FDI stock.

An increase in the price of a tangible good would typically cause demand to fall, leading the market toward a new equilibrium. By contrast, an increase in the price of an asset like a stock raises expectations of a further increase, causing demand to rise, potentially to excessively high levels.

After 1979, fears about limits to growth and nuclear power ebbed. Oil prices gradually fell, and the stock market began its long climb towards its peak in 2000.

As long as China continues to pursue pro market reforms, it will remain the largest single country contributor to global GDP growth over the medium term unperturbed by stock market volatility. If reforms stall, falling stock prices are likely to be the least of China s worries.
