...sustained bull market is shaping up. Reports TIME Correspondent John Tompkins from Wall Street: "The mood is in the air, palpable, something you can feel. To be sure, there are some well-known bears who still radiate gloom and even a couple of bulls who have turned bearish. But the consensus is that no matter how bad things look in Washington, the nation and the world, the market is within shouting distance of taking off on a major rise...
When interest rates decline and inflation moderates later this year, the long bearish stock market should rise. The time is not yet at hand, warn TIME'S economists, who recommend putting investment money into high-yielding Treasury bills until the recession bites. Even then, the bulls may not let out a full-throated roar. Warns Pechman: "The fact that we are suggesting that late this year may be a time to buy equities does not mean that equity prices will go through the roof."

...that time foreign speculators, anticipating an immediate rush into gold, had bid it up to nearly $200 per oz.

It's just waiting to be loved," shrugged the tart-tongued Princess Alice...
According to money traders, American companies have been selling dollars quite as actively as European and Japanese firms. Indeed, André Scaillet, chief money trader in Europe for First National Bank of Chicago, said before last week's rescue that American businessmen "are frequently more bearish on the dollar than the Europeans." Moreover, the selling had spread from U.S.-based multinationals to ordinary companies in the American heartland. In most cases, however, the selling was self-protective rather than speculative in the true sense; if a manufacturer in Illinois bought steel from a German mill, it had a strong motive...
