Why equity markets are due a correction

We are now in the second longest period the Dow Jones has gone without suffering at least a 10% correction. Find out when leading market commentators - and the key indicators - think it will hit.

It is now the second longest period since the Dow Jones Industrial Average suffered at least a 10% correction. The latest count is 1,022 trading days, just exceeding the 1956 figure of 1,020 days but still second to 1997 which was 1,723 days, the other eight such periods since 1929 ranged from 617 to 960 days. The important words above are "at least" because the awaited, inevitable correction, when it arrives, could be, and probably will be, much bigger than 10%!
