[D.C. Council member Jack Evans (D-Ward 2) said M.R. Beal initially got District business because it was minority-owned but has since performed as well as any of its bigger Wall Street competitors.] They are part of our minority contractors program, ... But they have also done a very good job for us in terms of getting us excellent rates on our bonds.
Jack Evans
The global biotechnology industry's revenues are growing at strong rates, product approvals are bringing innovative drugs to market, and the long- elusive goal of profitability is quickly approaching.
Donn Szaro
I think the productivity numbers you saw this morning lessen the fears in the marketplace about the Fed raising rates.
Francis Gannon
The fundamentals are so good that interest rates can go up a bit and not hurt anything.
Rich Moore
Higher ratings gives you the ability to set and charge higher rates, but I don't think that would change significantly as a result of this.
Jay Cooper
When I tell people what today's rates are, they are amazed that it can be so nominal for all that it offers. They consider us very fortunate.
Jim Conley
These figures prove that the ECB was wrong not to cut rates the last time it met.
Marc Touati
Florida reported one of the top three growth rates in the country last year. Our membership went from 43,700 to 45,500.
Doug Booth
The UK suffers from some of the worst heart attack rates in Europe, and this is part of doing something about it.
Matthew Pinsent
We will only do this if it will serve to further stabilize or reduce our electric rates. Also, this is a non-polluting source of power, so it's very economically friendly.
Charles Young
The fundamentals of higher rates are still in place.
Don Galante
That's why we will keep making these warnings and if necessary take further action, ... can increase interest rates and we can do it in a way that really hurts.
Alan Bollard
The economy continues to grow at more or less its trend rate and there is no obvious reason for interest rates to change in the near future.
Martin Weale
Higher interest rates make it much more comfortable for Japanese investors to be holding dollars. The chances of rate increases in the U.S. continue to rise while in Japan the prospects are much less certain.
Niels Christensen
The same considerations apply to homeowners. All else being equal, interest rates are higher now than they would be were real estate valuations less lofty, and if real estate prices begin to erode, homeowners should not expect to see all the gains of recent years preserved by monetary policy actions.
Donald Kohn
If they are going to run a higher deficit, then they will have to resort to higher borrowings, pushing up interest rates and fueling inflation. Whenever there's inflation, spending on manufactured goods comes down.
Vajira Premawardhana
Probably the biggest surprise of all was that the older medication produced about as good an effect as the newer medications, three of them anyway, and did not produce neurological side effects at greater rates than any of the other drugs.
Jeffrey Lieberman
The Postal Service last raised rates in July 2002.
John Potter
The Bank of Japan is expected to raise rates within the next year, but even if they do, it's not going to be by very much.
Kota Kimura
Malnutrition rates among children are alarmingly high and the areas have already seen large numbers of livestock deaths.
John Munyes
The market has shown a good recovery, though without much volume, against a background of improving interest rates and the real rate.
Bruno Otero
The old saw is the Fed hikes until something breaks. Cash has been the place to be, and it likely will be the place to be over the turn into 2006, but then the question is: Will the Fed be done raising rates at the end of January? Nobody is really sure what's going to happen.
Peter Crane
Interest rates are low. Dealers are in a dealing mood. We're heading into the boating season. It's probably an ideal time to look at buying.
Tom Dammrich
Manufacturers have probably adapted to rising oil prices, and the drop in the euro is part of the reason why. There's still too much uncertainty in the outlook for the ECB to raise rates.
Stephen Webster
The people running tech stocks up think they're immune [to interest rates]. I'm a conservative guy. I don't think they're immune.
Nick D'ambrosio
Worries about rising U.S. inflation and what that will mean for Fed rates may hurt consumer spending. Those concerns are negative for shares.
Taiji Yoshida
Businesses appear stronger than expected, reflecting the lower euro, but we're likely to see consumer confidence weaken on the back of higher inflation. It will be very difficult for the ECB to raise rates.
James Nixon
Arbitrary caps on Medicare will mean that providers or beneficiaries will have to make up the difference through lower payment rates or higher cost sharing.
William Novelli
In southern Africa HIV is still rising. Tanzania does not have the highest rates but it is one country where it is still going up.
Audrie Pattenn
[The bond market's woes also spelled] stock correction ... Somewhere along the line . . . interest rates, in my judgment, will go up, and the market will be correcting.
Arthur Gray
The average teen-ager is getting 15 to 20 teaspoons a day of added sugar from soft drinks alone. Consumption rates among children have doubled in the last decade.
David Ludwig
Uncertainty about interest rates will make meaningful progress difficult to achieve. This week will be big in terms of economic data and this can cause volatility in the market.
Philippe Gijsels
Longer-term rates will not rise dramatically as long as the Fed keeps the short-term policy rate at 1 percent. However, the pressure for upward movement in bond rates is already there and will persist.
David Kotok
It's Bollard's dilemma: consumers are feeling the pain, yet he is chasing an inflation target. The more he puts up rates, the more attractive the currency is for foreign investors.
Monica Fan
The research he presented reinforced what we were feeling. We have done a good job of holding our rates, and business is improving.
Kate Caldwell
I'm not sure how much farther stocks can advance given the outlook for rates.
Liam Dalton
A lot of smaller Internet companies have begun to prove their business models and are priced at levels that are more consistent with reasonable growth rates.
Bob Straus
From the data we have seen to date, we wouldn't see the need to increase interest rates in the next six months.
Peter Hendy
Data is now tipping toward lower inflation and anticipation of the Fed stopping raising rates is increasing. People are getting excited about that.
Scott Merritt
There's a good chance the Fed will raise tomorrow and change their language to indicate rates are on hold until we get clearer signs from the economic data. We could get a little rally in Treasuries.
John Maskell
The market has gone crazy, especially in the property sector. Investors are trying to believe that interest rates may be peaking and are forgetting that the oil price is more than US$62 per barrel.
Francis Lun
Even so, the danger of acting hastily is that you may end up accidentally throwing out the family silver in the bin liner. Even if you're in a closed with-profits fund with a low proportion invested in shares and very poor bonus rates, that does not necessarily mean you should get out of it.
Ned Cazalet
The interest rates are about to be increased. [Durbin] is trying to lock them in at a lower rate than what is about to happen in July...he's really trying to cut in half the interest rate that would be locked in.
Christina Angarola
Under Illinois law, these captive customers are entitled to regulated rates and consumer protections that have been in place for almost a century.
Lisa Madigan
The cost is going up. We have not raised the rates for so long. Further, we are not collecting enough. So we don't have enough money to pay the charges. The rates we are charging right now are not enough to pay the charges being billed us.
Karl T. Reyes
In any year, there is always a certain percentage of dealers losing money. [Rising ] interest rates are starting to pinch some consumers.
Paul Taylor
There is some nervousness in the market about U.S. rates after last week's euphoria, when everyone was so sure that the rate will stay flat.
Daniel Negrisori
My work on human capital began with an effort to calculate both private and social rates of return to men, women, blacks, and other groups from investments in different levels of education.
Gary Becker
The debate over rates will continue to intensify over the coming months, not least as the committee has received downside surprises from output and upside surprises from inflation.
Philip Shaw
The Bank of England will be concerned higher interest rates elsewhere will put pressure on the pound.
James Carrick
The country was fortunate last year during the hurricanes because we didn't see a drastic effect in insurance rates rising. Florida stood their own because of the regulations from Andrew.
John Benson
This was, without a doubt, a blowout quarter. The demand picture was better than we had been expecting. Order rates remained strong in the last month of the quarter, and we generated nearly a billion dollars of cash.
Michael Lehman
It's the micro management, the machinations up and down of interest rates, that has really gotten us to the point where we are now, rather than the market playing out at its own natural cycle. So the Fed today, I believe, will take a look back at the landscape, assess what they've done, and probably use August to evaluate whether or not to come back in and raise rates.
Scotty George
Following last week's fully anticipated decision to keep rates on hold, the February inflation report meeting might prove more contentious, depending on how the next two weeks of data turn out.
George Buckley
Treasuries are expensive at these levels given that the Fed is still going to raise interest rates. The Fed is still worried about inflation.
Hiroyuki Yamada
We don't see a strong rise in interest rates. We're confident.
Thierry Cantet
The picture is still rosy for the near term; you're looking at higher interest rates overseas but not in the UK. The growth cycle still seems to have legs. We're seeing fairly good earnings momentum and profits growth.
Chris Iggo
The net effect on the economy is always positive. We have more consumers of energy than producers and the result is that the sector that benefits from low inflation and low interest rates comes out ahead.
Michael Englund
When interest rates rise, the rate gap with the US will narrow and that will provide pressure for the yuan to strengthen.
Jeffrey Tan
The markets have been relatively positive. We had a big run in the semiconductors and people are willing to bet things will be just fine as long as (the Fed) continues to lower interest rates.
Bill Meehan
If the yield curve inverts, that is bad because banks will not lend money at rates lower than their borrowing costs. It's as simple as that and the economy will slow down naturally.
Michael Cheah
The focus has largely been on building single-family homes here. It's becoming less affordable to buy here. It's not necessarily becoming less affordable to live here. Apartment rates won't necessarily go up.
Robert Watts
I urge the PUD commissioners to carefully consider the long view when determining power rates for the large industrial companies, and make decisions that support current industry, enhance future economic development, and support our county, our communities and our citizens.
Deborah Moore
The new rates provide us the opportunity to earn an adequate return on our natural gas assets. The additional revenue will enhance our ability to make new capital investments that will be needed to support future growth and economic development in South Carolina.
Neville Lorick
There has not been much progress against poverty over the last three decades. Poverty rates were in the 11 to 12 percent range from 1969 to 1979.
Sheldon Danziger
It's a done deal. The ECB and Bank of England will leave interest rates on hold.
Neil Parker
The report will probably prompt investors to imagine the era of low rates is going change soon.
Makoto Yamashita
I think the focus will shift toward corporate profits. Whether they (the Fed) raise rates a quarter point or not, I think it's not going to be the main focus of investors' attention. People are going to be watching the earnings pretty closely .
John Carey
It's difficult to see the rand strengthening further from current levels because rates are going against the currency at the moment. The interest rate outlook favors the dollar over the rand.
Ion De Vleeschauwer
As the market starts to think about the possibility of raising rates, it should support the yen. We could see further buying of the yen.
Brian Garvey
The most important thing is when Japanese interest rates actually start to rise, and that's still a long way off.
Takehiko Jimbo
There is a possibility the Fed may raise rates three more times to 4.5 percent before pausing, to keep inflation under control.
Masayuki Senda
They're going to be borrowing more money at the shorter part of the yield curve. Is that going to push short-term rates higher? It's pretty fair to say that's going to happen.
Bill Hornbarger
The fact that Fukui is backing away from the optimism rates will go up could prove a bit of a problem for the yen. Investors are looking for some follow through from policy makers in order to be confident about pushing the yen higher.
Michael Metcalfe
I think the fear of interest rates being raised and the impact that would have on economic growth is public enemy No. 1 for stock sentiment right now.
John Forelli
The Fed is remaining vigilant against inflation, which helps 10-year notes and 30-year bonds. But two-year notes still have to deal with the likelihood of higher interest rates this year.
Jeff Palma
With everything else going up, light gas and water rates are up, groceries are up, property taxes are up. We're in no position to give anything up.
Tommy Turner
Higher interest rates are just not good medicine for the stock market.
Michael Vogelzang
The strong rise in prices cut into affordability, even with the low rates.
Lawrence Yun
Whether it happens today or on another occasion, the timing is uncertain but the fact that rates have to go up is clear. These things are priced in so I don't see much impact.
Philippe Gijsels
The move in the yen has spilled over on the perception the dollar will continue to gain as the Fed keeps raising rates.
Carsten Fritsch
Fifteen years ago it only took three long distance providers to drive down rates.
Barry Randall
With rising demand and lower supply, obviously that's going to put pressure on parking rates.
Ross Moore
Due to uncertainty over interest rates, along with the bull-run on the stock market, institutional investors are hesitant to buy debt paper actively.
Katsutoshi Inadome
This is really what we needed to keep this rally going. The Fed seems to be recognizing that there may come a time to stop raising rates, and that's very good for stocks.
Scott Wren
At first blush, lower-than-expected tax rates were a major contributor to the earnings-per-share upside.
Quintin Lai
The Consumer Price Index came in 'in line' with expectations, which calmed investors. And the Fed commented that they're not particularly concerned about inflation and that they don't seem to be any more aggressive in raising rates.
Steve Neimeth
Although we don't expect the MPC to cut rates this month, it is likely that we will see a cut to 4.25 per cent by the end of the year which will put more money into people's pockets and please UK businesses.
Chris Grove
The dollar is under pressure and the main driving force for this is the market's expectation that the Fed will stop hiking rates soon.
Marios Maratheftis
Whenever rates go up a little bit, some people aren't going to qualify. But buyers are better off because of the balanced market. That helps them more than slightly higher rates hurt them.
Michael Conway
Investors will continue to look closely at U.S. macro data for any sign that growth may disappoint or inflation could surprise on the high side, putting pressure on rates to move up faster than expected.
Ross Teverson
As long as rates continue to stay low, housing is going to stay strong.
William Emerson
The spurt in world oil prices is totally unjustified as the oil producing nations are exploiting high growth rates in India and China.
Alan Johnson
A regime of fixed foreign-exchange rates and obligations to intervene would encroach upon the statute of the ECB and the priority of price stability.
Otmar Issing
All the market is doing at the moment is trying to work out when the Fed is going to finish on rates.
Geoff Kendrick
Our feeling is that I want to warn people before I do it [raise water rates]. It's just good customer service.
Steve Massey
With most economic data pointing to continued strength it's likely, and would be prudent, for the ECB to raise rates in March. There's not a huge amount of support for the market.
John Maskell
I believe that if the situation continues, crime rates and chaos will increase which will make the Palestinians' life in Gaza more miserable than those years under the Israeli occupation.
Abdel Shafi
It's not so much a matter of if, but when rates will have to rise. There's a distinct possibility that if we see more evidence of strong growth, the Fed will move sooner rather than later.
Carl B. Weinberg
Factors like low inflation and lower interest rates will continue to give consumers more spending power while government initiatives like public spending and increased social grants should also provide support.
Steve Ross
Interest rates were a bit too low for price stability.
Christian Noyer
It certainly takes the edge off the possibility of them doing something soon. There is no reason to raise U.S. interest rates without an inflation problem and risk some of the customers for some of the overseas economies. They need us to buy their goods.
Rosanne Cahn
As long as they are rising, the ECB tends to raise interest rates.
Joerg Kraemer
If you bought a house at the top of the market with an adjustable-rate mortgage, knowing that long-term interest rates eventually have to go up, you deserve to be punished for your bad behavior. I have no sympathy whatsoever.
Marci Rossell
What I found with the old system was the lack of continuity. It was constantly changing. Now that we have a town manager, it operates smoothly–there's no fluctuation on mill rates. I tell people it's like having a CEO.
Mary Bigelow
It wasn't that you had this big humongous fire. It was that at significant times during the fire, the intensity was high but the rates of spread were extremely high. And that's just very difficult to contain.
Jack Cohen
We've seen a dramatic pickup in these loans since rates starting going up.
Anthony Hsieh
Now, everything is just flipped upside down 100 percent. He was wrong then, and I think he's wrong now. He should never have raised rates.
Harvey Eisen
Nine will find a way back - it's very dangerous for a network to start reducing its rates.
Harold Mitchell
If ever there were any doubts that the (Bank) would this week do anything other than keep interest rates on hold, the December monetary aggregate numbers are likely to dispel the doubts.
Hugo Pienaar
There's still an expectation that the Fed will raise rates another quarter-point.
Andy Whitaker
Specifically, the AGO alleged that the interest rates charged by the company were not properly calculated or disclosed, and greatly exceeded the amount legally collectable under Commonwealth law.
Brian Caldwell
Even as the Fed is expected to raise rates tomorrow, it also means they are one step closer to the end of rate hikes and that is making Treasuries attractive to investors. We are looking for opportunities to buy Treasuries around yields of 4.75 percent.
Tadashi Tsukaguchi
The Energy Star program rates appliances and gives you the line on energy efficient products.
Mary Barretta
The euro will continue to weaken. The ECB (European Central Bank) needs to do something (cut interest rates) to make sure euro-zone growth is not damaged by a slowdown in the U.S.
Razia Khan
For corporate bonds, he said, you can still get rates close to 8 percent for A-rated investment bonds and that's an attractive number.
Mario Derose
It is hard to buy bonds when the central bank is getting more evidence to support their case for raising interest rates. Bond yields will rise to correspond with an end of deflation.
Yasunori Kuroda
There are some big concerns about the U.S. economy and the stock market will struggle a bit. Interest rates do matter.
Felix Lanters
The Federal Reserve raising interest rates earlier this month prompted financial institutions to slightly increase interest checking rates.
Randy Rosen
If the primary cause of rising interest rates is growing demand for capital, then this should be regarded as a 'good' rate rise.
Kathy Matsui
The Fed has been singularly unsuccessful in cooling down the hot U.S. housing market, primarily because its rate hikes have had little impact on long-term interest rates — so far.
Nariman Behravesh
If inflation gets out of hand, the Fed will have to raise interest rates more than is envisioned right now. Oil and energy can do it.
Allen Sinai
One thing to understand about interest rates is that they're bad in both directions. Having rates at an extreme low is bad. By encouraging them to go further, the Fed only makes it worse.
Jim Bianco
Egg Money is a strong product proposition. Though it is not market leading in all aspects, it does offer consistently good rates and is likely to suit those who may end up dipping in and out of both spending and borrowing facilities.
Richard Mason
I think right now as far as wanting to buy something, this is time to do it before the rates go up again.
Berice Rosenberg
We don't expect another rate cut ..., but there is still the risk that rates might be cut again at some point if the economy should slow further.
Carsten Fritsch
Many customers have commented they can't believe we haven't raised our rates yet.
Carrie Smith
At the moment there is not a broad-based systemic inflation problem bubbling up in the economy. The Fed as a precaution has raised rates a little bit, will raise rates a little bit more but I don't think they are going to do a whole lot more after that.
Joseph Mcalinden
The faltering global recovery means we would not be surprised to see a rate cut, but with the UK having held up well... we stick to our forecast for rates to remain on hold.
Ross Walker
The government will be making every effort to bring down interest rates more and more so that sustainable growth can be consolidated.
Guido Mantega
It puts you at very high risk of having high error rates. It also puts you at high risk of sentencing people to death who will later turn out to be innocent.
James Liebman
[With the report now out, rates could come up even more.] Most lenders will increase rates by a quarter to three-eighths of a percent today, ... Remember, rates move up of a lot faster than they come down.
Anthony Hsieh
The hotel rates and lift tickets are all deeply discounted because there are fewer people on the runs.
Barbara Messing
Greenspan is raising rates, and he is targeting the consumer. This is a natural reflection of what is happening out there.
Andrew Barrett
Mortgage rates have been so low and accommodating that total home sales surged in October as families took advantage of the affordable atmosphere.
Frank Nothaft
These new streaming executable foreign exchange rates are available to Bloomberg users worldwide.
Russel Levi
There was a risk he would make more hawkish comments. He reaffirmed that even if the Bank of Japan ends its easy monetary policy it probably won't be increasing interest rates anytime soon.
Tatsuo Ichikawa
If you assume that the markets are effectively pricing in 2.75 percent rates by the end of the third quarter and have been doing that really since the end of last year, there is nothing that they are hearing from ECB members is really altering that perception.
Simon Derrick
The downturn in the High Street might be past its worst, but spending is still growing at pretty modest rates.
Jonathan Loynes
A year from now, when the rates are a percentage or two higher, the math will be a little more difficult.
Bill Mccubbin
It may not be the sort of caffeinated growth rates we've seen, but it still was a good performance. They've gone from being a computer company to a consumer electronics company.
Barry Jaruzelski
Our problem has always been that when you set wage rates too high that we know some businesses won't offer experienced positions for people.
Duane Marsh
Rates for long term CDs (terms of 12 months and longer) are typically driven by the activity in the bond market. The bond market has been fairly active over the last couple of months, which is why you are seeing long term CD rates changing.
Randy Rosen
We continue to believe that order rates have been tracking well at both companies thus far in the quarter.
Sumit Dhanda
Not even the most dovish of forecasters expects interest rates to be cut at Thursday's meeting.
Alan Clarke
Coming off such a low base, higher rates are confirmation we're in an economic growth cycle, as opposed to killing off the growth cycle, ... It doesn't deter my confidence in the stock market now.
Joe Kalinowski
And, we have been struggling with our rates ever since.
Glenn Thomas
If the past is any guide, the effect of rising interest rates is likely to be felt most visibly in housing markets.
Donald Kohn
What we are trying to do is demonstrate to the Fed that there is a strong interest in Congress to keep interest rates the way they are, ... There is no sign of inflation, no reason to raise rates.
Maurice Hinchey
No one's going to be keen to buy the market now with the ECB meeting looming. We're likely to get more reminders that inflation is higher than the ECB would like and they will be raising rates again in June.
Charles Diebel
Today's data should confirm the overall relatively constructive picture for the U.S. in 2006, we're looking for the Fed to go to 5 percent (on rates).
Bilal Hafeez
Structural reforms and fiscal consolidation allow the Bank of Israel to experiment with keeping real interest rates at a lower plateau compared to the past.
Serhan Cevik
We think this company more than most would be leveraged to an improvement in market conditions and lower rates. Market activity comes back this company has a lot of operating leverage and it should show through on the bottom line.
Chip Dickson
Is it really meeting the need? No, it's not adequate enough. You can only raise private rates so high. It's difficult to keep things afloat with everyone wanting great care and no one willing to pay for that.
James Mueller
This outcome (0.2 per cent growth) makes it more certain the Reserve Bank has finished lifting rates.
Brendan O'donovan
If expectations for prolonged zero rates grow excessively, that may stimulate demand too much, cause a swing in economic activity and force the central bank to make drastic policy changes.
Atsushi Mizuno
It will start to feel the impact of high interest rates globally and domestically and high oil prices.
Leslie Tang
Interest rates are creeping up and some might say that this is more realistic that it's more normal. A market that's not too hot, not too cold and it's in a safe range.
Alexis Muellner
I think that the next move with interest rates is going to be up and, quite frankly, ... the numbers we saw this morning were stronger than expectations and so we see that the consumer is not slowing down at all and you have the bond market a little on the edge.
Robert Froehlich
Growth was clearly weaker in the fourth quarter. But the ECB will call that an exception and say growth will accelerate. The bank will raise rates in March and possibly sometime thereafter.
Christoph Weil
If they are making that much profit, they should reduce rates.
Rex Wilmouth
It'll administer lime at a certain dosage according to what sensors in the riverbed tell it about flow rates.
George Ferguson
The Fed will be watchful and will likely continue the process of increasing interest rates in the near term.
Raghuram Rajan
We haven't raised our rates since 2000. Our most exciting and cheapest trips in 2006 last four days and cost $995. It's high water for adults in shape only, no kids.
Dave Mills
The capital gains rates are cheap, demand for land is still extremely strong, so that's a definite benefit for landowners.
John Schutte
There's a lot of nervousness with what interest rates are doing, ... Financial stocks are up 3 percent one day and down 3 percent the next.
David Dreman
As they are changing from old contracts to new ones they are raising rates, which is a good sign that they are doing very well. They have established themselves as a viable investment prospect.
Don Hodges
However, given the anticipated revenue overrun, he is likely to be forced to reduce all marginal income tax rates.
André Roux
Polio is not only an issue in Indonesia ... but it's an international issue. That virus, just as it came here from the African continent, could now go from here to a neighboring country and become implanted in that country if protection rates for polio were low.
C. David Heymann
Businesses will be adding workers, so productivity growth will stay modest in 2006. The increase in unit labor costs is something the Federal Reserve is aware of, and it adds to the case they're going to continue raising rates.
Michelle Girard
Will it bump some people out of the ability buy? Yes it will. But I have to laugh when I think of the 1970s and '80s when we had rates in the double-digits.
Karen Peterson
It will be a good thing if they pull this off. It was a calculated move and they were worried about what they did in 2000 when they prematurely raised rates.
Arjuna Mahendran
We know they're going to raise interest rates, it's just a question of when.
Matthew Lifson
The rates we are proposing are of course higher than those currently given to employees.
Lee Cabrera
If the Federal Reserve board doesn't cut interest rates, I think we're looking at a 300- maybe even a 400-point drop in our stock market.
Robert Froelich
The momentum in the economy and job market, combined with mortgage rates that remain near generational lows, continues to provide a solid backdrop for housing.
Mike Englund
The cooling off of the regional housing market can be attributed to a combination of job losses related to the airport, rising interest rates, infrastructure problems and growth control initiatives.
Jim Cutter
Higher rates will eventually reign in the market, but it will likely take additional moves for that to happen in a discernible way. Whether those moves actually come is something the market can put out of its thinking -- at least until May.
Rob Palombi
In the past, the market has absorbed home price increases with household income growth. Well, we had household income growth in 2005, but appreciation rates were higher than that, therefore we needed the low interest rates.
J. Lennox Scott
Cable rates have been climbing. The remedy to that ... is competition.
Sharon Shaffer
If interest rates aren't going any higher for a little while, then that will probably help make the Link REIT yield slightly more attractive.
Justin Pascoe
The central bank is trying to combat persistent inflationary pressures. This is a signal to the market that interest rates have bottomed out and we should expect more increases.
Jonathan Ravelas
If penalty rates are attacked then working families will still (find it) even harder to pay their bills.
Sharan Burrow
In cheaper markets interest rates probably won't matter as much as the local economy. These are places where new supply matches new demand, and you just have steady appreciation.
David Stiff
The next move for us is going to be to raise rates.
James Simpson
We are planning to buy Treasuries and the consumer price report reinforced our views that U.S. notes will rally. With the Fed likely to raise rates again, that will keep inflation well contained.
Satoshi Asai
He's a man of the people. Sure, people see the crime rates and other stuff, but I don't sense they are necessarily blaming him for that.
