Industry Hits Postwar Peak of Expansion
A special committee of the investment bankers association of America reports that American industry has passed the peak of postwar expansion but will likely keep large scale spending in 1949. Elections create uncertainty about investment outlook with demand for fixed income securities rising on the belief of lower rates under a Democratic administration. Major companies such as U S Steel General Motors General Electric and Johns Manville plan sizable cuts in 1949 versus 1948, while manufacturers as a group may trim less, keeping overall expenditures down about ten percent.
