Turmoil in stock markets, and the currency factor, however, continued to make trading very difficult, they said. Most firms were still mainly interested in seeing that orders come in to keep up activity, and not all firms are managing to operate at full capacity. Traders also pointed to cut price import competition which was partly due to the effect of stronger sterling against European currencies. This could be a longer term problem now that UK entry into EMU is not expected for more than five years. 311050 MET oct 97
