World Markets Brace For Possible War With Iraq

LONDON - MARCH 10: People walk past the London Stock Exchange March 10, 2003 in London. Midday share prices were down. With the U.S. setting a March 17, 2003 deadline for Saddam Hussein to disarm, world markets are bracing for turbulent trading. The influential oil price has come to almost a 10-year high, pushing manufacturing raw materials' costs up. World wide shares slumped last week with the dollar falling to some record lows.
