In an uncomfortably large number of emerging market countries, the debt has grown beyond what would be sustainable if countries fail to improve on their historical growth and budgetary performance and if, later in the recovery, real interest rates rise.
Many emerging market countries are working to put in place fundamental reforms that will strengthen their judicial systems, their institutions, their financial sectors and their macroeconomic management.
For some emerging market economies, there is the prospect of those faster growth rates that can help raise the living standards of their citizens and reduce the incidence of poverty.

The much respected market technician, Martin Pring, describes momentum as the "velocity of a price trend." One of the best technical tools in measuring this velocity is a Rate-of-Change (ROC) oscillator.

This is an impending sign of a reversal, and if it occurs in all three ROCs, then it portends an important reversal in the market.

 Trending Market at Trade10.com- The science of trading market momentum for stocks, options, futures and bonds.
During a period of time when the market is in a strong trend there are a number of adaptations that technical analysts have to make in order to make allowances for changes in the way indicators and technical tools act.
The Stochastic Oscillator tracks the momentum of price and when plotted against a stock or index in a strong trending environment is of little use in determining when price may be oversold or overbought.
Other methods of analyzing momentum indicators like looking for divergences to give bias for potential reversal signals of price trend may not work as well when a stock or index is in a strong price trend that has been in place for some time.

 MarketScreen.com - Technical Analysis from A to Z
If the Momentum indicator reaches extremely high or low values (relative to its historical values), you should assume a continuation of the current trend.
This method assumes that market tops are typically identified by a rapid price increase (when everyone expects prices to go higher) and that market bottoms typically end with rapid price declines (when everyone wants to get out).
As a market peaks, the Momentum indicator will climb sharply and then fall off-- diverging from the continued upward or sideways movement of the price.

 FT.com / Capital markets - Hybrid security market regaining momentum   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The US market for the latest types of hybrid securities is again gathering steam in spite of a new regulatory ruling likely further to discourage insurance company buyers, which until recently were buying about 20 per cent of new hybrids.
The willingness of issuers and bankers to launch new deals suggests strong institutional appetite even without insurers, who have steered clear of the instruments since a surprise decision by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners in March made it expensive for them to own certain hybrids.
The decision echoes the SVO’s March ruling on a Lehman Brothers hybrid with similar features, which sent ripples through the market and held back what some on Wall Street had expected to be a flood of issuance.
