Indrajit Advani
I feel like I can go to the range, within an hour, I can tighten my ball striking up.
Charles Warren
The market has been trying to push a rate cut, but the Governor has remained steadfast, saying there is no scope for lower rates. The Reserve Bank does have a tightening bias and is concerned by wages pressure.
Brian Redican
It's a short-term phenomenon, and it does tighten the market a little, but it happens every year.
Glyn Lawcock
I don't think anyone can answer whether the Fed is going to have to tighten beyond neutral, ... You have to be looking at the economy going forward and that changes as additional data comes in.
Michael Moskow
Anything that can be done to tighten and strengthen our laws regarding sexual predators and sexual offenders - especially after they have been released from prison - will be given serious consideration.
Judd Everhart
The Fed will hike interest rates by 25 basis points at its next meeting, but it will be the last one in this tightening cycle. We've been recommending buying the euro.
Masafumi Yamamoto
We're asking Americans to tighten their belts; by golly, the federal government should, too.
Louie Gohmert
There are fears the data will be strong and Greenspan will lay the groundwork for tightening. In that environment, how do you bring in buyers?
Josh Stiles
I'm hopeful that we're nearing the end of this series of tightening. I don't think we have a serious inflation problem. With strong productivity, unit labor costs are under control.
Alan Skrainka
With Greenspan next week, if there is any sniff that maybe they are coming close to the end of their tightening, then maybe these flattening trades are not going to pay off as much as they have already, and that is why people are being a little more cautious about the flattening trades.
Kevin Logan
I think the administration lowered the bar a bit too far. And if the deal is implemented as it currently stands, in my view there will be some negative implications for our global non-proliferation efforts. I think we'll have a harder time persuading other countries to tighten the rules while we're urging them to make exceptions.
Robert Einhorn
While only 10 percent are considered 'financially troubled,' virtually every Internet company we have come across is tightening its belt. Clearly, the company has a lot of work in front of it.
Holly Becker
It's the magnitude of changes people are concerned about. If the Fed decides to tighten more aggressively, both in time frame and in magnitude, that could put a strain on the market as a whole.
Tom Roseen
There is basically 100 percent pricing for a tightening in U.S. rates ....
Adam Myers
This has mainly to do with the comments from the (U.S. Federal Reserve) indicating they perhaps are looking at a 'one and done' situation as far as tightening goes for the initial part of 2006.
Andrew Busch
Our spread from our first through sixth runners was only about one minute, so our pack is starting to tighten up. We're hoping to have that down to between 30-45 seconds in the next three-four weeks.
Trenton Roth
The improving stock-market environment as people start to price in the end of Fed tightening has positive effects on Asia. Lower interest rates are positive for stock markets and they diminish the importance of relative yields.
Simon Flint
Given this outlook, it follows obviously that the bank is more likely to tighten policy than to ease in the foreseeable future.
Glenn Stevens
I think overall this will help tighten up the licensing of child care in our state.
Sen. Michael Waddoups
A curve inversion will last until the Fed stops tightening. As long is the Fed keeps tightening and inflation remains benign, the curve should be inverted.
James Caron
We are seeing that we are beginning to tighten in on the disease. ... Eventually, we hope that it can be contained throughout the world and not become an epidemic or an endemic disease.
C. David Heymann
For markets, this is another sign that concerted tightening by global central banks is progressing.
Paul Niven
The Fed has stated pretty steadily that they are on this measured pace of tightening, and investors will be looking to see that they maintain that pace.
Maria Fiorini Ramirez
This is an orderly belt-tightening. Expense growth has been overshadowed by strong revenue growth, ... What is really driving the issue here is that even the most optimistic firms cannot expect to sustain revenue growth at these levels.
Michael Flanagan
It is difficult to sell off actively because there is a lingering fear that if something should happen to refiners or a cold spell hits, it will immediately tighten supplies.
Naohiro Niimura
The data continues to hint that there is a big chance that the Monetary Authority of Singapore will tighten policy at the April meeting.
John Cairns
The labor force surge should serve as a reminder that the economy is further from running out of labor than the economists at the Fed think. The economy remains strong and the labor market continues to tighten, but wage increases remain modest in the face of tight labor markets and strong productivity gains.
John Ryding
This concern suggests it will take a lot of strength to get the Fed to tighten beyond 5 per cent.
Darren Gibbs
They are obviously making the case to tighten. There is no justification to speed up or slow down. We will end the year with rates at 4 percent or 4.25 percent. It depends on whether the Fed wants to take one meeting to pause and assess where the economy is going.
Vincent Boberski
When returns drop, farmers start tightening their belts.
Doug Crombie
The risk that labor costs will begin to make their way through to higher core inflation if the labor market continues to tighten is one key factor making many (Fed policy makers) uneasy about a course change in policy any time soon.
Peter Hooper
We hope this case will eventually force the U.S. government to tighten its rules over mad cow testing.
Hiroko Mizuhara
Knowing what I know right now, I think the Fed will probably tighten again.
Dana Johnson
People who go broke in a big way never miss any meals. It is the poor jerk who is shy a half slug who must tighten his belt.
Robert A. Heinlein
We have done a great deal to tighten up our security. It is difficult to understand why we end up on the sustainability list when you compare it to cities that are going to get funding, like Memphis.
Jane Castor
Because there is a lot of footwork involved, you tighten your stomach muscles. You're bending at the knee. Back erect, and that enables you to move your heels.
Mary Fishler
The risk of having a major sell off when the Fed starts tightening is relatively low.
Christoph Bianchet
These [ticket] scalpers have every method imaginable to get these tickets, and now they're buying up hotel rooms and tightening up this already tight market. They've found a way to make a lucrative business even more lucrative.
Milton Thompson
The numbers relieved some fear of the Fed tightening interest rates. For how long, I don't know. But for the time being they have.
David Jarvis
(The Catholic Church must) clean out the pedophiles, break up the gay cliques, tighten up the seminary, and restore the good name of the priesthood.
Andrew Greeley
We believe . . . that tightening links with customers by moving these functions into business units is a necessary step.
Cindy Shaw
In the last couple of weeks, market participants forgot about the idea of a tightening, ... People woke up to the idea that maybe the tightening isn't over.
Maria Fiorini Ramirez
Greenspan gave no hint of an end to tightening.
James O'sullivan
This obviously suggests that if they were going to tighten monetary policy and raise rates, it would be in a very gradual fashion.
Carol Stone
I'm trying to do one simple thing: tighten it up. I am only acting on the side of caution.
Sen. Evelyn Lynn
The money market initially appeared willing to bet that the next round of tightening could be the last of the cycle. (However) the tone of the minutes suggests the pace of prospective tightening could be less predictable.
Brian Robinson
On the U.S. data front we did not get very reassuring numbers. To confirm market expectations in respect of Federal Reserve tightening this year, we need significantly stronger numbers.
Michael Klawitter
I think we're going to see a worsening in the inflation data and that's going to keep the Fed on a tightening track.
Carl Riccadonna
I think what we're seeing is a much tighter holding on spending than we would have expected, ... It's really a general tightening that we've seen across the board that's been commensurate with releases we've seen in that time period.
Patricia Russo
I've never had a player have an injury like that. Usually it's a matter of tightening up a shoe and gutting it out. We lost Kevin for seven games and he's still not 100 percent.
John Brady
Banks need to tighten their current lending IT infrastructure to address this fast growing market, as technology can be a crucial differentiator that provides a competitive edge.
Senthil Kumar
We knew this year we had to look at tightening our belt.
Anthony Dragona
We have a lot of cross currents right now and so it's very difficult for investors to pick out the proper path. People like myself think that things are in fact slowing down some, that inflation is not a significant problem, and that while the Fed may tighten policy once in the next couple of months, they really probably don't need to.
Alfred Kugel
The market's kind of worried they may suggest they are coming to an end of the aggressive tightening cycle. There is some dollar selling as a result of that.
John Cholakis
The Fed should be cautious about over-tightening and causing too much of a downturn in the housing market.
Glenn Haberbush
(The Trojans) are a very exciting program to watch. We are going to have to tighten up defensively. We can't make very many mistakes.
Rachel Lawson
The U.S. labor market continues to tighten and the implication is the Fed will need to raise rates. Anything above 250,000 jobs today and the dollar will continue to push higher.
Gavin Friend
Economic data have been reasonably good, so the bonds continue to sell off. Strong economic growth means the central bank is likely to tighten further. You see significant back-up in yields across the board.
James Dutkiewicz
We need to tighten up defensively. We still have positions where we need to find somebody to step up.
Richy Leon
One wants to make sure that it continues to build and not to be too far ahead of the curve in monetary policy if at the same time fiscal policy is also tightening.
Homi Kharas
The rules have changed, post-9/11. We have seen some real tightening of security and for all the right reasons.
Harry White
I try and stay up with the group. I tried to stay loose and not tighten up. I tried to stay behind the leader.
Rodney Oyler
I think what's happening is exactly what the Federal Reserve Board wanted to happen. They wanted to change their bias from neutral to tightening to slow down the markets - and that is what's happening today.
Robert Froehlich
A rise in longer-term bond yields would arguably be seen as doing some of the Fed's tightening work.
Carolyn Kwan
These are impressive numbers. Underlying growth momentum still suggests that the central bank should continue with policy tightening.
Rajeev Malik
Markets have high hopes that the Fed will indicate that the tightening is almost over. This week's focus will be more than ever on economic figures.
Philippe Gijsels
We've already seen the yen hit a little bit by people moving away from instant belief that there was going to be an interest-rate tightening. Japanese economy is still quite robust and my mid-year expectation is the yen will strengthen from where it is today.
Jack Rosenthal
The departing chairman will have done much of the hard work of tightening before the appointment of the new chairman.
Richard Hoey
Fundamentally, we believe that at this point in the cycle, after one year of sub-trend growth and facing the prospect of one to two more years of the same, and with inflation peaking, the bank shouldn't be tightening policy further.
Jason Wong
They are not using that possibility as a justification for their tightening campaign, in contrast to past years when there was a lot of concern about tightening labor market.
Tom Schlesinger
The yen is looking undervalued at current levels. The Fed is probably getting into the final stage of rate hikes, and Japan and Europe may be coming closer to a tightening policy, so there may be some adjustment in the recent rally in the dollar against the yen and the euro.
Minoru Shioiri
These numbers are suggesting that a future Federal Reserve tightening will be coming to a theater near you quite soon.
Anthony Chan
There is clearly more tightening just around the corner.
Alison Cottrell
We were right there. We've just got to keep pushing. We are going to be a good team, we've just got to do a couple of things to tighten it up.
D.j. Strawberry
We still made a lot of mental errors and mistakes we have to work on. There are a lot of little things we have to work on if we are going to beat the good ball teams. We are giving up to many outs. We have to tighten out defense up, there is no question about that.
Jerry Kramer
People are getting ready for the end of the tightening cycle and they are beginning to feel like the dollar?s rally is nearly over.
Tom Benfer
There are expectations for quantitative easing to end in April - that's our forecast too - but it will probably take several months (after that) before they begin tightening interest rates.
Todd Elmer
Any companies with exposure to big ticket items are struggling -- it could be a sign that UK consumers are tightening their belts. We are steering well clear of that sector.
Robert Parkes
The introduction of a preferred inflation rate of zero to two percent has fuelled market expectations that the BOJ could raise rates before the fourth quarter, and that tightening of policy could be larger and faster than markets had previously anticipated.
Monica Fan
We think that further tightening in May and July will push the rate to 12 percent by mid-year.
Beat Siegenthaler
Inflation pressures are still apparent, forcing the central bank to keep tightening its grip on borrowing to contain inflation.
Albert King
This is a Fed that has demonstrated excellent crisis management skills. But by the time we come to November, the Fed should be able to act with a greater degree of confidence. A pause in November would mean a severe downgrade in the prospects for the economy while tightening in November would show that the effects of Hurricane Katrina were probably temporary.
Chris Probyn
They had a nice run to begin the second half so I told the guys they had to tighten up the defense. From that point on, we did a nice job of shutting down their shooters.
Tim Loomis
I don't think the market will push far before the Fed statement. If they remove the sentence implying some further measured tightening then the dollar is at risk.
Gavin Friend
TEA is tightening up. If we have 100 students, we can only order 103 books.
Robert Keener
There's still a chance of a rate hike, you can never officially rule that out, but for the moment it appears the worst-case scenario will be an announcement of a tightening bias. I don't see that happening, but that would be the worst-case scenario.
Rob Palombi
If the Fed offers more concrete action on the end of the tightening, it is possible that the subsequent move of the small cap market may be sideways to down.
Satya Pradhuman
While we look for the Fed to pause in June, we expect continued above-trend growth and inflation concerns will lead to further tightening (to 5.5%) in the second half of the year.
Michelle Girard
The Fed is going to continue to tighten and that will ultimately push the dollar higher. The market hasn't built in enough of that.
Meg Browne
The kids have to hold on to the wool and tighten their knees around the sheep and ride it as long as they can. They are only judged on six seconds of riding, but they can go to the end of the arena if they want.
Tracy Adams
They scored on their opportunities and we had a couple of breakdowns that resulted in their (first two) goals. You can't question our effort, but I think we can be a little bit more responsible on those turnovers at this time in the season. A few turnovers like that and they get two goals. I definitely want to make those saves, but it's just a matter of tightening up some loose ends I guess.
Seamus Kotyk
A backdrop of monetary tightening, high commodity prices, robust productivity growth and buoyant activity will continue to offer support to the peso.
Alberto Ramos
We expect financial conditions to tighten in the second quarter.
Hong Liang
It's a very early indicator of a slowing economy. Historically when the Fed gets into a tightening cycle, they inevitably tighten a bit more than they should, and that slows the economy.
Alan De Rose
I had a little cramp tighten up on me there, but it wasn't anything serious.
Aaron Ross
Further evidence that the US rate-tightening cycle may be approaching a pause was provided yesterday by a weaker-than-expected ISM report on the manufacturing sector and the release of a dovish set of minutes from the Fed's December meeting.
Simon Rubinsohn
We cannot rule out a tightening of monetary policy in the short run.
Amando Tetangco
Inflation hawks may be eating crow today. Despite their fears of tight labor markets and a strong economy, inflation is only creeping, not accelerating. I don't think that this report assures that the Fed tightening cycle is over, but I wouldn't be surprised to see rising market expectations of a rate cut. With most prices in check and energy prices easing, this report is about as good as it gets.
Oscar Gonzalez
We acknowledge it's a valuable graphic enhancement. Unfortunately, in this economic climate, we've been forced to tighten our belt, and it's an expensive enhancement.
Lou D'ermilio
The GDP deflator suggests the Bank of Japan doesn't have to do anything any time soon and this is negative for the yen. Previous expectations for an imminent tightening were clearly premature.
Callum Henderson
It's on the side of the ledger for a tightening bias. But with uncertainty about global growth and oil prices, the bank isn't likely to move rates anytime soon.
Michael Blythe
We have a plan to reduce the county's sales tax by one percent, ... thereby reducing the cost of gas for the consumer. We (county) will have to make due with a little less and make a cut in the price of gas that will be visible to the consumer. If we have to tighten our belts a little bit then that is what we will do.
Jim Wallace
If inflation were to slow down some more, that would put off the date of any further tightening. But if it's stable or rising, the Fed will focus more on job numbers. We think the labor market indicators will be fairly strong.
Henry Willmore
Japanese interest rates continue to price in tightening from the Bank of Japan. We think it's a bit premature, but the currency market is taking notice.
Jens Nordvig
Look for renewed debate on whether rising producer prices will be passed through to consumers in the CPI measure of inflation, ... If so, that may well mean that the Federal Reserve isn't quite as near to the end of its tightening cycle as previously thought.
Derek Holt
It does happen, but of course, we tighten up, change our procedures, examine our procedures every time that does happen. We do our best to keep our people safe, but they're dangerous places.
Gregory Lagana
The world economy is entering a global monetary transition that will see incremental monetary policy tightening resulting in reduced global liquidity.
Goolam Ballim
The market was looking for some clarity ... which it got. The fact that they're not going to be doing any real tightening in the short term is also very positive.
Michael Coates
It's not fair to Brandon Cox and our offense to get in a hole 10-0, ... It's not acceptable and can't happen any more. I thought we were passive, especially early. It allowed the quarterback to get in a rhythm and have some easy throws. Once our guys got their confidence and started tightening down, I thought we did okay.
David Gibbs
We expect productivity growth to moderate, and compensation gains and unit labor costs to pick up. Just another piece of the puzzle that points toward more Fed tightening than the market currently expects.
Stephen Stanley
We'll have to tighten up our game a little, that's what trials are for.
Ivan Cleary
We can't even tighten the belt. There's nothing left to tighten it around.
Carolyn Schuler
My personal opinion is that probably the policy (of leaving rates alone), is about right for now. But there are people who think we have not totally brought demand in line with supply and that further tightening will be needed.
Mark Wanshel
There's no doubt German firms are doing exceptionally well: order books are full to the brim and business confidence is at levels not seen since reunification. But they haven't started hiring yet. They know that in 2007 a very large fiscal tightening is envisaged, so this could be a short-lived rise in demand.
Sandra Petcov
It's good to get both of them on and pitching well. In two games, they only issued three walks the whole day. It's coming along. Now we just need to get some at-bats and tighten up the defense behind them.
Carl Fuller
I don't know what it is about playing them, but we just always do well. They run a system and we tighten up our defense, don't get beat on back cuts and don't give them much.
Roger Sharp
We are looking at tightening any discussion with regards to any candidates. And we will be holding that closer to our vest.
Brian Gibson
The data will certainly encourage views of a truncated Fed tightening cycle.
Alan Ruskin
We have to tighten some things up. We need to be a little more patient.
Mark Bradford
The bottom line is it's difficult for a Treasury market to rally when the Fed has indicated they are not done tightening.
Michael Boss
This is due to increasing expectations that US policymakers will end their current credit tightening cycle soon.
Masayoshi Yano
It fits in with the picture that the labor market is turned, inflation has turned and in a few more months they'll be tightening.
Bill Cheney
Monetary tightening, a strong currency and tamer U.S. demand should spell slower economic growth ahead, calming inflation fears.
Warren Lovely
Industrial activity may moderate this year but will still remain strong. Monetary tightening by the central bank has raised concerns about the growth outlook.
Rajeev Malik
We think the Fed is going to tighten by the end of August.
Harvinder Kalirai
In fact this was first told to me by Arnold Palmer a few years back. He said that that's one of the biggest problems, that we need to tighten down on the grooves because it's too easy to get out of the rough, especially for the best players.
Dick Rugge
Europe has double-digit unemployment and no inflation problem, ... Any European Central Bank tightening will be swamped by much more from the Fed.
David Gilmore
We can't allow the quarterback to get hit like that. It's going to be our job to tighten it up this week.
Hank Fraley
I think the market ought to be satisfied with the idea that at least there's not going to be anymore tightening. You know, it's only a couple months ago that people were saying the Fed was going to tighten all through the fall. So now that it looks like they're not, people are saying, wow, maybe they'll ease now. But I think that is quite a way off, probably some time next year.
David Braverman
The reason the dollar is staying strong is because markets have continued to price in more Fed tightening.
Daniel Katzive
With the labor market tightening, particularly for people with college degrees, it makes it increasingly difficult for companies to find highly skilled and talented workers.
Mark Marcon
On December 11, the syndicate took some decisions to tighten the security on the campus but the decisions have not been implemented yet.
Prof Aams Arefin Siddique
The market is hypersensitive to any clues that they can get as to what the Fed will do over the course of tightening cycle. The market is very focused on these data points.
Philip Orlando
So we suspect that it won't take much to give the RBA that extra shove toward tightening.
Michael Blythe
We're going to go after them by doing the same things we've talked about all year. And that's tightening up in our own zone, opening it up in the offensive zone like we have been the past month or so, and 60 minutes of effort.
Scott Gardiner
The markets seem to be interpreting this as the last tightening before year's end, and that may or may not be true. If we continue to see signs of growth and worse, signs of inflation this could be second of a series. If not, then this could be the last rate rise for a while.
Paul Hancock
The U.S. dollar trend is going to rise through the end of the first quarter of 2006. Until it becomes clear the Fed is finished tightening rates, I don't think we will see a change in the trend.
Richard Grace
The market is anticipating the end of the Fed tightening, so it's a very good time for financials. People are searching for the next hot front and we think financials are the place to go.
Tom Goggins
Bonds are a little bit expensive right now. Consumers are spending a little bit aggressively, which may make the central bank nervous about rising prices. It may push the bank to tighten further.
James Dutkiewicz
In the end, he did not fully validate the recent decline in the market's Fed tightening expectations.
Robert Lynch
George Bush has just taken a giant 30-year step backwards in terms of fuel economy for vehicles. He's actually loosened up the rules under the guise of tightening them. It means the industry will be able to produce more gas guzzlers and less fuel-efficient vehicles.
John Bennett
Although I expect policy to follow the usual gradualist pattern, the pace of tightening will of necessity respond to evolving economic conditions, particularly the strength of the ongoing recovery in the labor market and developments on the inflation front.
Ben S. Bernanke
Slightly higher inflation says to the Fed they have to remain with a tightening bias. The market is going to remain focused on payrolls at the end of the week. That's likely what is driving dollar strength.
David Durrant
We actually had a bit of traffic and I had to make a couple of passes just after the start-finish line heading into Turn 1. The car performed very well even though I was experiencing a loose-to-neutral feeling in it. That lent itself to a fast qualifying setup, but we have some changes that we know will tighten it back up for the race tomorrow.
Luis Diaz
Both of us understand that real reform means more than tightening bureaucratic rules; it means fundamental changes to the way Congress does business.
John Shadegg
The Fed is nearing the end of its tightening cycle and on a weekly basis the release of the minutes may impact the dollar negatively.
Samarjit Shankar
It's a rapidly tightening market. If we have a normal winter, there is not enough supply being made available in the fourth quarter. The market needs more oil.
David Knapp
She really saved us with her passing. Right now, we're taking little baby steps. We have districts in three weeks and we have to still tighten a lot of things up. They're working really hard, and we're getting to where I'd like us to be.
Fawnda Rogers
The hurricane impact in the fourth quarter is going to be quite evident and people will look beyond that. Growth is still going to be solid in the first half and the market is slightly under-pricing the risk in Fed tightening.
Craig Chan
The central bank is an inflation fighter, not a growth defender. It would be nothing short of negligent for the Reserve Bank to move away from a tightening bias.
Stephen Toplis
Bearing in mind that the Fed wants higher inflation, the news is not unwelcome. And the market will remain firmly in the camp that the Fed will not tighten soon, ... Nevertheless, the risks from the PPI are easy to see and look real in light of the big decline of the dollar and rise in import costs that preceded them.
Sherry Cooper
Wages are really slow to move. The are really the last thing to adjust in a tightening labor supply.
Shelley Allen
We just have to try to tighten up in the middle of defence, because we have to shut the ball down with them.
Mark Barrett
Data has been strong enough heading into year-end to prevent market participants from making strong conclusions on the likely timing of the end of the Fed's tightening cycle, and in this environment the dollar is likely to remain well-supported for now.
Daniel Katzive
There's more Fed tightening to come than is currently priced into the market. That should see the U.S. dollar stronger and weigh on the Australian dollar.
John Horner
The interest rate markets have moved to swiftly price in one last act of enlightened risk management from Greenspan in the form of a tightening pause.
Michael Wallace
I just can't imagine that it's only a coincidence. I think they feel that it's kind of getting out of their control, and they're trying to tighten it back up.
Kevin Mattson
We saw the market get so oversold that it's not surprising that we're getting a rebound. The market got too pessimistic about how rapidly the Fed will tighten next year.
Brad Stone
We expect the current gap between Lycos' closing price and the $97.55 [a share] acquisition [price] to tighten and see few catalysts until the deal closes.
Arthur Newman
The Reserve Bank may shift to a very mild tightening bias which won't be enough to support the Australian dollar while the Fed is pushing up rates.
John Kyriakopoulos
We need to tighten up so that all stakeholders in this industry do what they are supposed to do.
Dube Tshidi
There's a decent amount of issuance in the past few days, with perhaps some leftover tightening pressure.
Neela Gollapudi
The Bank Negara meeting today (Jan 20) could be a key event. They may wait to hike rates but core inflation is rising and the market is demanding more monetary tightening.
Craig Chan
The central bank is expected to tighten in the months of February and May this year.
Chun Chong Woo
I see no further central bank tightening this year.
Luz Lorenzo
The industry is very sensitive to the fact that delinquencies have risen over the last two years. They have already taken steps to tighten underwriting standards -- to stop solicitations to risky customers.
James Chessen
My concern is that what's happened here is that inflation is higher than the Fed anticipated. On top of that, the kind of tightening already imposed by the markets, in terms of lower equities and higher bond yields, is setting up weaker growth in 2005.
Alan Ruskin
Any signal that the Fed is close to the end of the tightening cycle is good news for equities. The picture remains positive for stocks.
Michala Marcussen
If you look back to 1994 when the Fed was hiking rates continuously, after every rate hike the Fed adopted a neutral bias. However, the tightening cycle continued until early '95, for a total of 300 basis points (3 percent). We are not looking for that type of tightening cycle this time, but nevertheless it does suggest that the neutral bias does not preclude further rate hikes down the road.
Harvinder Kalirai
The king will try to silence the opposition, to try and tighten the knot around us but we will continue to make things very difficult for the state.
Mario Masuku
Raising the lending rate is the first tightening of the controls.
Ba Shusong
The boys are improving little by little. We just need to tighten our pack.
Mario Garcia
The comments seemed reasonably hawkish. The Fed is concerned about inflationary pressures..It's certainly clear they are plan to continue to tighten.
David Sloan
I'm a cool sleeper so I like silk best. Silk comforters have finger fibers that tighten and contour to the body.
Janet Partridge
When household budgets tighten up women continue to buy for themselves. It's happening now.
Mark Mcinnes
It's not going to put us out of business, but we're going to have to tighten up.
Don Thompson
We have built our nuclear energy facilities over the past decades by tightening our people's belts. The facilities are built with our people's blood and sweat. It is unimaginable for us to succumb to outside pressure and give up our independent nuclear power industry without an alternative that will compensate us with nuclear energy.
Rodong Sinmun
The Fed is on hold at least through the election but I think we'll get a little more tightening at the start of next year. I think, for the time being, we have a soft landing. But I think the reality is the stock market rally will probably add a little fuel to the economy and the tightening will return next year.
