Anil Jethmal's profile

Trends in the Finance Market for 2017 and Beyond

The finance sector constantly evolves as stocks rise and fall and as economies around the world fluctuate. Analysts have made various predictions about how the market will behave in 2017, a few of which are listed below. 

1. Productivity could affect stocks

During the recent quarters, the per-worker output in the US has either fallen or stayed flat. Less visible investments in intellectual property and other areas could potentially create a surge in productivity, however, and should this change occur too rapidly, it could raise interest rates on stocks.

2. Positive selection of securities

In the wake of high volatility in 2016, market observers anticipate low-net managers finding more control of uncertainty this year. Specifically, the numbers point toward a stronger inventory of securities in which to invest.

3. Probability of inflation on the horizon

A combination of trends within the market and various government initiatives geared toward fiscal stimulus should yield benefits in 2017. Yet in the year to come, inflation seems to be a plausible result of the rise in productivity and stock values.A business executive with more than 27 years of experience, Anil Jethmal serves as senior vice president at a prominent securities firm in New York.
