Themes for a Market Correction<br />
• ST risk: investment banks, insurers – the worst is not behind us<br />
• MT risk: inflation, food prices and central banks<br />
• Bad news: financial sector job losses, construction costs, securitisation and<br />
the cost of credit, real economic fallout<br />
• Good news: imbalance in supply and demand for quality assets, rapid<br />
action by public bodies, emerging markets strength<br />
