When we operate in markets around the world we have to ensure that our service complies with global laws as well as local laws and norms.

Brooke Richardson

We expect markets to focus, as usual, on headline hiring and the jobless rate. Whether these figures should be judged according to the usual principles is less clear, however.

Susan Hering

Australia is one of our largest markets.

Jason Olim

Concern about inflation in overseas markets increased speculation that Japan's central bank will move.

Shinji Kunibe

Although geopolitics cannot be dismissed entirely from a trading perspective, the impact on the capital markets is not expected to be long term.

Brian Robinson

We think the jury is out whether there will be any practical impact on video markets and, in any case, we don?t see any major impact anytime soon.

Douglas Shapiro

Anytime there's any kind of catastrophe in the world you see a reaction in the markets.

Dan Wood

We expect these disruptions to be a continuous feature of 2006 oil markets. Shell is the most leveraged and may need to consider asset swaps to dilute its exposure -- both financially and politically.

Jonathan Wright

This does not mean that currency markets have completely eliminated all concerns about the trade deficit when assessing the dollar.

Ashraf Laidi

The market's had such a good run ... and there's a certain inevitability when you've got that kind of strength that the market is going to have to take a bit of a breather.

Arthur Lim

These core businesses will address specific markets and allow us to approach customers in a faster and more integrated fashion. The leaders of each of these businesses have a keen understanding of their marketplaces and have demonstrated the speed, response and creativity our customers demand.

Richard Mcginn

We get hit both ways now because all markets are distant. I buy diesel - 4,000 to 5,000 gallons a year - for our operations, then I have to pay for transportation to market.

Trent Taylor

High-quality and timely information is the lifeblood of strong, vibrant markets. It is at the very core of investor confidence.

Arthur Levitt

The suggestion of establishing this society is profitable for the citizens because it keeps them a way from the greedy merchants in the local markets.

Ali Al

You have the foreign capital coming into China in the form of QFII. That's also positive for the A-share markets.

Jing Ulrich

Bank of America is a recognized leader in the natural gas, power and oil markets.

Tom Connor

Historically, the markets have responded very positively to crisis-like events.

Sean Clark

Headlines have been keeping the markets emotionally tapped.

Joe Cangemi

It's been easing up the last three or four days. The market's been showing some kind of downside... I don't know if it's going to maintain, though.

Tom Williams

Those changes have created uncertainty. Cuba was forced to divert hundreds of million of dollars to alternative markets.

Pedro Alvarez

If these countries do not increase their investments substantially, we will end up with difficulties on the energy markets. We may end up with much higher prices.

Fatih Birol

Marconi's communications to the markets over the last six months have constantly disappointed.

David Staples

These two (gas and oil markets) should be doing their own thing. It hasn't been that way of late.

George Ellis

The market's beginning to look at rate hikes sooner than expected on the view that inflation and growth is picking up. This will help the euro because of the current focus on rate differentials.

Paul Robson

It was very, very quiet today. It was helped by overnight markets and neighboring markets.

Mark Julliem

We won't have a very strong inventory situation, certainly not enough to keep markets from testing higher.

Mary Novak

Outdoor living is exploding in all markets and at all price levels.

Cheryl O'brien

Citigroup looks likely to continue to benefit from the benign interest rate outlook, global economic expansion and the markets liquidity premium.

Sean Ryan

I'm very positive regarding Japan's markets.

Marc Faber

Unlike in the 1980s and 1990s, this time the Japanese are going to be more circumspect and invest in their end markets, which would include Europe and the United States.

Arjuna Mahendran

Our industry is adding capacity at a phenomenal rate and will be able to adequately supply ethanol to the markets that need it.

Bob Dinneen

It's all off the outside markets, with metals and energy up, and gold is up to a 25-year high.

Vic Lespinasse

After all, they are benefiting enormously from the access that they have to other markets.

Peter Allgeier

The local station is kind of in the driver's seat. We have the infrastructure. We have the branding in these local markets no one else can replicate.

Paul Karpowicz

The impact on the bottom line is going to be minimal in the short term. It has large existing businesses in the analog and wireless markets already.

Joseph Osha

This oil boom has been funding domestic development, and the capital markets -- that have really changed dramatically over last few years -- have been a conduit for that.

Simon Williams

With labor markets eroding rapidly, external growth faltering badly, and domestic inflation low and falling, the Fed can afford to err on the side of accommodation.

Robert Diclemente

We knew the kid of appreciation we had been seeing in some markets was not sustainable over the long term.

Mark Milner

I don't think there is anything to be freaking out about. The markets will come back and they will move upward again.

Gail Bronson

Some banks have chosen to go public overseas. This was their own decision, based on their circumstances. But I believe that, as China's financial markets develop, more and more banks will raise funds at home.

Jiang Dingzhi

We're still returning to pre-hurricane levels but in general this is a good report. This is further evidence labor markets are still healthy in the U.S.

Glenn Haberbush

The Hotspot deal sets a benchmark price for markets.

Justyn Trenner

The Chinese are getting very focused on corporate governance. If you're looking around the region, greater transparency is one theme that's developing in other markets.

Michael Nock Draws

Core inflation was the good news in the report. That calmed the financial markets.

Haseeb Ahmed

Last year was our best year since the 1990's in the overseas market and with aggressive marketing and sales efforts we can seize even more of these growing markets.

Bruce Macmillan

The markets cast a bit of doubt about how much the central bank will go in this rate-hike cycle.

Shaun Osborne

Different majorities in the two houses would be the worst possible scenario for the markets.

Luigi Speranza

We're going to learn the most by launching it first in competitive markets like Fort Wayne.

Mark Apple

Optimism abounds on the market. Retail investors expect an influx of funds from institutions and the government to lure overseas-listed blue chips back to mainland markets.

Li Zhi

It's just another day with Nasdaq guiding us. In this climate of fears about U.S. interest rates, [and] dependence on U.S. stocks, it is very difficult for any local factor to move the markets.

Paulo De Sa

It's a delicate balance. A lot of the growth is coming out of emerging markets but ... that's less profitable growth.

John Slack

It's very hard to judge what the market's appetite is going to be for a new issue, and it's a company that I don't think a lot of people know very well. Being in Hawaii, they haven't been able to go out and market as much as a company located on the mainland.

Walter Nasdeo

What we've found in most of our markets, the response has been good, (but) it's been slow. There has not been a huge demand for this, quite honestly.

Reg Griffin

We could have a Gulf War scenario, and that's going to drive the markets lower, I'm afraid.

Henk Potts

The first quarter is another snapshot of a company with great global growth opportunities, but facing greater competition in core markets -- all while digesting a very challenging acquisition.

Jonathan Feeney

The Nasdaq market's sell-off was a disappointment.

Tsuyoshi Segawa

The fact that the markets continue to rally in spite of news that is generally OK but not excessively good is a positive.

Mark Herskovitz

Oil prices are heading to levels that may kick off a pullback in equity markets. A spike in inflation could slow down growth.

Pablo Garcia

The reality is that the end markets are not good; it looks like Intel is starting to accept reality, ... And I would expect more bad news to follow.

Bill Fleckenstein

The stock market's strong and capital is readily available, and that's obviously driving activity.

Richard Hunt

That's hundreds of thousands of dollars in tourism marketing that goes into all of those markets that brings tourism dollars back to Brown County and the surrounding area. That's a big part of this.

R. Perry Kidder

The impact of capital markets wasn't all negative, and they saw solid improvement in credit quality in their commercial business.

Diane Glossman

All those things combined, it's hard to see where the market's going to move higher.

Peter Doyle

This is something that could take manufacturers into new markets and niches.

Tom Mclaughlin

I think the political uncertainty will dominate [the markets] in the next few days.

Koby Akai

PSA is interested because of the P&O ports in India and Australia. They (P&O) are very strong in these two markets.

John Ong

(The) board would protect consumers' interests and would seek to boost investments and create competitive markets.

Murli Deora

I think the bond markets are getting a head fake here because [the Fed] explicitly said that they are going to be on guard.

David Orr

The agreement will initially cover the market in Thailand and then expand to include pilot markets in Australia and New Zealand.

Fong Piau

More than 50 percent on average of all these indexes is in oil and refined products. It's having a massive impact on the markets.

Frederic Lasserre

There's no question the market's strong.

Art Cory

The continuing demand in South Korea's biggest markets is serving as the driving force.

David Cohen

We go into markets because our equipment can make parts for that market.

Paul Gross

People are probably taking a wait-and-see approach before the Fed, and the market's taking a breather after last week.

Steve Neimeth

Getting help from the U.S. government to open markets to get the right to fly to other countries is important to us, ... The Clinton administration has done a fine job of doing this.

Gerald Greenwald

There are opportunities that are exploding in overseas markets.

Ben Phillips

While the United States still dominates this list, 2006 really belongs to some of the more emerging markets, and no country more than India.

Luisa Kroll

We feel strongly about our capabilities in primary, secondary and tertiary markets.

Jason Beal

The market's doing pretty well. We've had some good figures out of the U.S. and futures were very strong at yesterday's close.

Herbert Lau

These companies have a nice exposure to emerging markets. This is also an industry with very inelastic demand. The pricing power is strong.

Concepción Moreno

It's the U.S. securities market's way to get back business we've lost.

Benn Steil

It will be a difficult summer in the gasoline markets. Things look more difficult than I've ever seen.

Michael Burdette

With the market's oversold condition, a small rally is expected. The extent has surprised everybody.

Ned Collins

If this region is not safe, funds will flee these markets and go to Singapore, which is seen as a safe haven.

Najeeb Jarhom

It looks like they're trying to reduce their capital- markets business to try and save their futures and options and commodity business, which is what they're known for.

Larry Tabb

Best Buy can hit our five key markets, which represent 37% of the Hispanic population. That's something they couldn't do before.

John Paton

Given the strength of the metals markets it looks like the Australian dollar will be in for a good couple of days.

John Horner

Altogether we're on target. The market's behaving very well right now.

Peter Gignoux

The overall global economy is robust, and there's quite good demand from many end-markets.

Tim Albrecht

We can't foresee a good growth scenario in Europe. This is convincing investors to look for other markets that can grow more and yet provide confidence in stability.

Filippo De Luca

The markets will treat it like it's Tyrannosaurus rex, but bigger.

David Pursell

The major determinant is how much does it take from Jordan as opposed to other markets which historically weren't so close to it.

Angus Blair

Markets across Asia appear to be watching what will happen with the Bank of Japan.

Toru Otsuka

There is a grave concern as far as the fresh fruit industry's future. We are going to work closely with Commissioner Bronson and the USDA to ensure that the new management plan safeguards our crops and our markets.

Doug Bournique

Markets want to hear some kind of hint that they'll back up these words with action, specifically intervention in foreign exchanges to drive the euro higher.

Mark Cliffe

The market's been on an unprecedented run.

Joseph Mcgrath

The Prospect team impressed us with their deep knowledge regarding the ethanol and clean fuels markets.

Michael W. Smith

As traditional hedge fund investment styles in mature markets become more crowded, we are expanding internationally and into more asset classes.

Daniel Stern

Remember, the Bank of Japan has to establish its credibility as an independent player in the financial markets and this was an opportunity they could not resist.

Arjuna Mahendran

The financial markets generally are unpredictable. So that one has to have different scenarios... The idea that you can actually predict what's going to happen contradicts my way of looking at the market.

George Soros

But markets are not really surprised. UK oil production has been declining for several years.

Mike Wittner

That momentum has continued at this show. We've seen orders from dynamic markets like India. Another rapidly growing market is Indonesia.

Anthony Phillips

Shares of banks in emerging markets have a much larger growth potential than banks in developed Europe.

Mario Pierry

One of the things hurting coffee has been concern about selling in emerging markets like Brazil. And the market hasn't been particularly strong to begin with.

Bill O'neill

The culture of the chairmanship is to be the dominant voice in the Fed. If you have a weak chairman . . . the markets could be very unsettled.

David M. Jones

The market's responding positively to the fact that earnings were not as bad as expected.

John Shaughnessy

However, as these markets continued to decline in the third quarter, it became likely that even with our efforts, third-quarter earnings will probably fall below the 2000 second-quarter level.

Alain Belda

Regional markets are higher in the afternoon which helped the Hong Kong market up.

Alex Wong

Electro World now has a strengthening foothold in markets with a combined population of more than 65 million.

John Clare

Our own sense is that a lot of this (trend) is driven mostly by economics. In certain markets where affordable housing is scarce this is much more common.

Nicolas Retsinas

The strong sentiment of the US and Japan markets helped push up the index. The rally is very broad based.

Louis Wong

I think a lot of it had to do with fixed income, foreign exchange and derivatives, ... I think there will be a rebounding in capital markets in the second quarter. I expect them to bounce back with a more healthy investment banking business.

Andrew Collins

Past transitions at the Fed have often been accompanied by volatile financial markets.

Bill Dudley

Will have access to the full range of infrastructure- related and industrial markets.

Travis Engen

Condos have certainly gone nuts in this market. Las Vegas joins some of the Florida markets as a poster child for that happening.

Greg Willett

This is kind of what the market's been telling us. Obviously the numbers have to come down.

Keith Gangl

I'm more positive about Texas than almost anywhere, because the underpinnings are good, and it hasn't had the huge run-up that other markets have.

Christopher Cagan

In the first quarter, we recorded more than $1 billion in major account wins in the healthcare, education and travel markets alone.

Michael Capellas

The concern over gasoline availability coming into the second quarter is helping to keep crude oil markets relatively firm.

Kevin Norrish

Making agricultural markets more accessible is the most fundamental reform that needs to emerge from the Doha round of WTO negotiations.

Will Martin

I think that cut is priced into the markets.

Dean Stanley

Going forward, we will continue to closely control costs while investing in key markets to maximize our potential for profitability.

Brian L. Halla

The market's reaction is purely psychological.

Richard Geist

Given market conditions in Europe, 2001 will not be an easy year, ... There are a couple of markets having trouble coming back. Germany is continuing to struggle.

Mike Burns

Japan has been a drag on all the other markets.

Jeff Weir

The issue is not on the agenda. They are companies with presence on international markets, let them work.

Claudio Scajola

One of the main reasons to bring the case was to prevent the loss of other important markets [for US agriculture exports].

Michelle Gorman

More and more investors are comfortable with emerging markets.

Michael Gomez

Capping the upside is the fact that inventories have not drawn much despite the cold weather we have had thus far and therefore are not unsettling the markets much.

Ed Meir

The combination of the two companies gives us reach around the world. We expect to compete in all the markets in the U.S.

Ed Mcguinness

Foreign investors started looking for other options in non-emerging markets.

Edgar Jimenez

I take the family shopping round / The markets of the world.

Edgar A. Guest

This Cantor Fitzgerald issue is a serious hurdle. Without that [quote service], Dow Jones [Markets] doesn't have much of a franchise. It's a key asset.

Ed Atorino

We are combining two companies that have a similar philosophy about competitive markets. By doing it, we get a number of benefits that will help our shareholders and will help our customers.

Ed Selover

Alex's extensive experience in the investment industry and capital markets further strengthens the diversity of our board.

Ed Rohling

China is having a big impact on western markets because it is a very open economy.

Zhu Min

You have a very, very vulnerable financial economy. I expect to see volatile markets.

Zhu Min

With this kind of hiccup in refinery capacity, in stretched markets like California, you could see over $4 a gallon in gas.

Evan Smith

To be elected president, Al Gore needs the economy and the markets firing on all cylinders. Al Gore needs voters and consumers happy and satisfied.

Ethan Siegal

The ECB could never argue in the way the Fed did in justifying its most recent rate cuts, by citing markets and the economy.

Ernst Welteke

Clearly, it was a crucial time because of the difficulties in the technology capital markets. We had to face the question of do you continue or not.

Erik Anderson

It's a very loud distraction for the markets.

Eric Wiegand

In general it's a healthy profit taking move for the EM market, and for the domestic markets in Latin America as the stock and currency markets are coming off.

Enrique Alvarez

Both countries are convinced they're going to meet their future financing needs on the domestic markets.

Enrique Alvarez

Treasuries seem to be overly happy and emerging markets seem to be quite content also.

Enrique Alvarez

Next week is characterized by very low liquidity in Brazilian financial markets, and no major economic data are released.

Enrique Alvarez

The housing market is at record levels, and commercial real estate markets should continue to be strong for some time.

Elliott Pollack

Many of these people are sophisticated business people for whom markets have reversed... They don't need to know how to balance a checkbook.

Elizabeth Warren

In our view, the financial markets are much too complacent about what a decision to keep tightening means at this juncture.

Edward Mckelvey

We have many PC partners who serve their markets exceedingly well and we see no need to enter the market.

Eileen Rodriguez

The markets could be doing even better. That kind of political noise disturbs the investment environment.

Eduardo Favrin

Our schedule planning folks are always looking at the markets we serve, and if we see the demand, we're happy to add flights. This is good news for Buffalo.

Edna Ruano
