Dollar/yen has responded to horrific weakness in data which has continued over the last business day in Japan. Machinery orders were a bit of a horror story.
Russell Jones
The markets will obviously tread water, but we could see some buying on weakness.
Charles Payne
You would be amazed how many important outs you can get by working the count down to where the hitter is sure you're going to throw to his weakness, and then throw to his power instead.
Whitey Ford
You can't have a glaring weakness with your most important venue and expect to win.
Dan Doctoroff
Gap is experiencing weakness across all its brands, with its merchandise problems exacerbated by its aggressive square footage growth.
Richard Baum
We came up a little short at the end, but hitting is not something I consider as a weakness for this team. Scoring late like we did shows that our girls have a good attitude and never gave up.
Amanda Wood
I am working on every aspect of of my game, on moving forward, on my transition game. Also a very important part of my tennis is fitness. I want to be stronger, because in the past, this was my biggest weakness.
Jelena Jankovic
Metal equities took a thrashing and it appears there may be more weakness in the short term here.
Peter Spina
The Injury Fund exposed some of our weaknesses. The mental part of the game is a weakness and we need to think and act as a team. We are going to have to learn as we go but this is the squad that is capable of doing that.
Rich Duggan
Boredom is a sign of satisfied ignorance, blunted apprehension, crass sympathies, dull understanding, feeble powers of attention, and irreclaimable weakness of character.
James Bridie
He tries to locate weaknesses in their play. He knows them inside out, every position, so we know what we're going at every time we go out there. Every team has a weakness. A lot of the improvement has been down to the manager learning more about our opponents in the Premiership than he did last year.
Stephen Warnock
Our focus is very much on putting pressure on Senator Nelson and exposing his weakness as a senator and as a leader. That only helps whoever the eventual nominee is.
Brian Nick
We are facing a number of significant short-term issues, including an uncertain global economic environment, ongoing weakness in some parts of Asia and Latin America, and continued price pressures in semi conductors.
Louis Gerstner
The yen's weakness against the dollar in Tokyo has been inherited from overseas trade on interest rate differentials.
Nobuo Kihara
Current weakness appears industry related, not company specific, in our opinion.
Phil Rueppel
Going into the quarter there was a ton of concern because a number of (technology companies) have really struggled. Everyone assumed that Cisco would see that weakness. But Cisco really didn't see it and appears to have taken market share.
Tim Daubenspeck
My sense is that the market is not particularly surprised by the weakness in Morgan Stanley's preannouncement. It's been pretty well forecast.
Christopher Bingaman
The Iraqi people are living a long-running tragedy because of the legacy of the old regime, the Americans and their actions that are unsuitable for Iraqi society, and the weakness of national resolve.
Ahmed Chalabi
I love this guy; he's going to be absolutely great. He can do everything. He can catch. He can block balls. He can throw. He can hit. He can run. Really, he has no weakness.
Gary Hughes
Consumers could raise spending by digging into savings, there's room. Though it may not be the most important thing right now, the persistent weakness in the labor market will weigh on confidence again.
Sandra Petcov
Since it was an important topic I wanted to craft it to the best it could be. [Peter] is a person we could relate to, a fisherman who had a lot of weakness and changed step by step into this incredible person.
Jenny Phillips
I think it was more of an excuse. Weakness in Asia just hurts a strong economy a little bit around the edges.
Abby Joseph Cohen
My biggest weakness is patience, wanting to see things happen too quickly or get changes in place right away. Not having the patience to let things develop.
Paul Gleason
I like everything so far. I can't right now find a weakness. When I walked in here this year, I was just hoping to tread water and go for that county championship. Even that, I thought, was going to be a struggle. Now, I wouldn't be surprised if this is the first year we sneak one by one of our region opponents.
Bill Dillon
We have to concentrate and not look at the lead. Since we're conscious of it, that it's a weakness, we made it through.
Taylor Bennett
Our shortfall in revenue is not due to weakness in the Human Resources market, ... The year 2000 is a transition year for our Human Resources business, particularly U.S. payroll. Due to our focus on U.S. payroll, cross-selling efforts with Ceridian Benefits Services were deferred, which negatively impacted revenues.
Ronald Turner
Valuations remain a little stretched, and we could see some further weakness into the early part of the year.
Adam Adelman
I know Koufax' weakness. He can't hit.
Whitey Ford
A lot of the weakness is in the stock already, especially with gross margins still sitting at 60 percent. That's a strong statement about what Intel is doing with costs.
Michael Mcconnell
The Fed is likely to make no change in its rate policy because it still see risks in the economic outlook, but I suspect it will remove its bias towards easing. Now that recovery is underway, the Fed will probably tell us the risks are a little more evenly split between weakness and inflation.
Richard Rippe
Our weakness is inexperience. We have no seniors and we've never been here before. I'll be interested to see how we come out and play.
Brian Robinson
If at any time we start to see slowing in growth in infrastructure that could expose some weakness.
Peter Coleman
We're all looking at Disney's numbers and particularly what they said about weakness in the current quarter and it's got the investment community spooked about a decline in demand overall.
Jason Ader
So even if tomorrow's ISM report does not show anywhere near the weakness the Chicago report does, we could still see some follow through in the next month's numbers.
Mark Vitner
Japanese investors are continuing to buy bonds abroad, and we see more scope for yen weakness.
Paul Mackel
People saw this as a sign of his own weakness -- that he had to run to the Americans for protection. The United States is not the most popular country in Pakistan.
Stephen Cohen
In the longer term, a resumption of dollar weakness and a move to new highs cannot be ruled out. But for the moment, we do not see that on the horizon.
Tom Fitzpatrick
This is the culmination of things that started a while ago. There has been inventory building in the channel, and they have been losing market share the last few quarters, and it is starting to come to a head. This is not a sign of weakness in the market.
Kevin Rottinghaus
It's a country developing very fast and it deserves to have low credit spreads. Investors like myself with pension funds and central banks will just buy into any weakness.
Jerome Booth
Given the combination of recent share price weakness, especially in relative context, and slightly increased revenue assumptions, we see improvement in the risk-reward equation for LCC.
Gary Chase
We deceive ourselves when we fancy that only weakness needs support. Strength needs it far more.
Anne Sophie Swetchine
The question is how much of that weakness has been caused by Oracle itself and does it go away once the deal actually closes.
Donovan Gow
Unearned revenue is really important because it gives visibility into future revenue. In our view, concerns about it have created the weakness in Microsoft's stock for the past couple of years.
Jamie Friedman
The fact they indicted her on misdemeanors shows the weakness of their case.
Jason Huber
That's been a big weakness of ours the last couple of years. We don't have real strong outside shooters.
Paul Althaus
Obviously, the risk (for a bust) is there. But if we had any major weakness, it'd probably be external ? a major act of terrorism, for example, or bird flu.
Jeff Thredgold
Russia's weakness is that they have a lot of individual skill, but they're not playing as a team. And when you play against a good team like we've been doing the whole tournament, that's been the difference. You create turnovers and capitalize on them, we don't really care who scores. All we really care is about the win.
Jarkko Ruutu
[The starting goalie] remains to be seen. None of these guys have a lot of experience in NESCAC-type games for the varsity. [However], our defense will be strong enough to cover for any weakness we might have in the goal.
Todd Gilbert
Gold and silver were mirrors of the equity markets, with the weakness in the European stocks.
Bill O'neill
They're solid everywhere. You don't see a weakness anywhere on that defense.
David Reeves
We're seeing Japan aggressively acting to keep the yen steady against the dollar and stop the process of broad dollar weakness from turning into broad yen strength.
Lara Rhame
We're not expecting a panicky financial market meltdown or much further dollar weakness.
David Malpass
The more a person analyzes his inner self, the more insignificant he seems to himself. This is the first lesson of wisdom. Let us be humble, and we will become wise. Let us know our weakness, and it will give us power.
William Ellery Channing
The worry with Intel is many investors are expecting higher corporate spending to offset potential weakness in consumer spending for GDP growth this year.
Steve Neimeth
In many ways traders were going to find a positive interpretation of this number difficult, but a fall over the September figure -- against forecast predictions of a small rise -- has underlined a genuine weakness in the U.S. economy, in turn weighing on stocks.
Jimmy Yates
The correction has been triggered by large-scale selling by foreign institutional investors in sectors like metal and fast moving consumer goods. The weakness in the global market has also added to the pressure.
Deepak Shah
I think this morning's weakness is just following Wall Street, and we did have a very buoyant start to the new financial year.
Steve Mayne
The U.S. dollar is being held firm by short-term rate expectations and until there is some sign of visible weakness in the U.S. housing market or receding inflation expectations, euro-dollar will likely remain under pressure.
Adam Myers
We've been rallying most of this last quarter on the basis of a little more hope that we have bottomed and that the consumer economy would not suffer the weakness of the manufacturing economy. Today's job report gives us some hope that that is happening.
Henry Cavanna
With the sustained weakness in the metro area's labor market, it appears Hickory has experienced an out-migration of workers - most likely the area's more skilled workers.
Todd Cherry
They're going to resell each other's products, which is a sign of weakness. From Compaq's standpoint, that's an acknowledgement that they lack a high-end storage product. From IBM's standpoint, it's an acknowledgment that they've been unable to sell the Shark product outside of the very narrow mainframe market that they cater to.
Mark Fredrickson
Household confidence is very weak, suggesting household spending is vulnerable. We expect spreading weakness in retail spending as the year progresses.
Shamubeel Eaqub
We're having a little bit of a shakeout, responding to weakness in Australia as much as anything.
Murray Rutherford
Forces driving the dollar are still the same, concerns about the current account deficit. A rise in sterling, triggered by strong UK data, is also contributing to dollar weakness.
Niels Christensen
The bears came out this week and didn't spook everyone off. When the market was too weak, there were buyers and as long as there are buyers on weakness we're OK.
Charles Payne
But in another way, community is a terrible place. It is the place where our limitations and our egoism are revealed to us. When we begin to live full-time with others, we discover our poverty and our weakness, our inability to get on with people, our mental and emotional blocks . . . our seemingly insatiable desires, our frustrations and jealousies, our hatred and our wish to destroy.
Jean Vanier
To accuse another of having weak kidneys, lungs, or heart, is not a crime; on the contrary, saying he has a weak brain is a crime. To be considered stupid and to be told so is more painful than being called gluttonous, mendacious, violent, lascivious, lazy, cowardly: every weakness, every vice, has found its defenders, its rhetoric, its ennoblement and exaltation, but stupidity hasn't.
Primo Levi
Today's activity is pretty gloomy. The Nasdaq and S&P weakness does not look good for the marketplace.
David Herron
I think the weakness in some of the small- and mid-cap stocks will be reversed early in the year.
Marshall Front
This is a true, just outcome and have it come in an hour and 15 minutes, so definitively, I think speaks to the weakness that the prosecution's case consisted of.
Gary Miles
Weakness in high-tech shares, which are the key contributor to the Nikkei, pushed down the market.
Ryuta Otsuka
I'm sure he could win (another Tour). The way he won this year... everything pretty much under control and he never showed any weakness. He has another Tour in his legs yet.
Johan Bruyneel
We should do well in the distance, sprints, hurdles, weight events and relays. Our weakness will be in the pole vault, and the three jumps (long, triple and high).
Paul Sadorf
It was a similar story to what we saw in 1999 when it was dominated by a vary narrow group of stocks, Bell and Nortel, but outside of that there was quite a bit of weakness.
Doug Porter
Tolerance it a tremendous virtue, but the immediate neighbors of tolerance are apathy and weakness.
James Goldsmith
Harvey did a nice job of playing to our weakness. And we don't shoot well. We had some good looks, some nice shots, but we couldn't knock them down.
Wally Kesling
Currencies have been very straight-forward beneficiaries of dollar weakness.
James Malcolm
What you saw is a very strong trading quarter and you saw a strong quarter for some of the more traditional businesses. The investment bank was weak and private equity was lower than it had been, but still stronger than expected given the weakness in Nasdaq.
Chip Dickson
I feel good about the special teams from what we have seen during the summer. But, n terms of team speed, that could be a little weakness for us.
Brad Miller
The weakness in the stock price, despite the better-than-expected earnings, is due to the company saying it sees same-store sales (sales at stores open a year or more) in the second quarter rising 2-to-4 percent, when yesterday (Monday), Lowe's said 4-to-6 percent.
Dana L. Telsey
[We believe] that today's weakness related to the news that Russia is pulling poultry import licenses is a buying opportunity. We believe that the Russian government will issue the licenses fairly quickly.
Farha Aslam
Unless the market can get a firm perception that the US Fed is ending its interest rate hike cycle, the ongoing weakness of the yen may not come to an end.
Ryohei Muramatsu
Trading performance across the last six months has been solid despite weakness in the UK carbonated soft drinks market.
Roger White
The payroll figures are telling us the U.S. economy is exceptionally weak, and the weakness goes beyond anything that is associated with geopolitical risk and the other excuses we've had.
John Shepherd
The fourth quarter easily beat estimates. Despite a delayed Department of Defense budget, backlog showed no signs of weakness.
Myles Walton
That was the type of reaction that we were looking for from the Asia crisis...to have weakness in stocks at the same time you'd have strength in bonds.
James Bianco
Manufacturing is expanding, but not as broadly as in November. There was weakness in new orders and employment.
Gary Thayer
In spite of weakness in our major markets, we improved profitability, saw an extremely positive customer response to new John Deere products, and brought down field inventories of used farm equipment.
Robert Lane
It is folly for an eminent person to think of escaping censure, and a weakness to be affected by it. All the illustrious persons of antiquity, and indeed of every age, have passed through this fiery persecution. There is no defense against reproach but obscurity; it is a kind of concomitant to greatness, as satires and invectives were an essential part of a Roman triumph.
Joseph Addison
PPI was very well behaved due to energy, though there was a rebound in car prices. Aside from that, the trend is soft in terms of prices. That confirms weakness in economic activity.
Jade Zelnik
If one were looking for additional weakness in the economy, it's not going to come from housing. We are seeing the economy generate a fair amount of momentum.
Gerald Zukowski
The greatest weakness of most humans is their hesitancy to tell others how much they love them while they're still alive.
O. A. Battista
He's one of the most amazing athletes I've ever seen. Hopefully we will take what was a weakness on this team last year and turn it into a strength.
Brandon Short
Although there was some improvements in the PC chain in February/March, April is showing weakness.
Steve Milunovich
The trade release has reminded the market of the structural weakness of the dollar.
Paul Mackel
We continue to view near-term sector weakness as more opportunity than risk as we head toward winter.
Doug Leggate
Given the weakness of the state's case, it's not hard to see how it could be postponed so long.
Scott Holmes
Sometimes, I'd ask out of a game, and the coach never knew why. ... I guess for me it was just a personal thing. I didn't want people to know. I didn't want anyone to know I might have a weakness.
Mark Hodsdon
It definitely helps because, Mt. Lebanon's No. 2 in the WPIAL and, after watching their tapes, there's not much of a weakness in their game so we have to be able to handle the pressure and the physicality of the game. We have to be strong in the post and strong mentally and slow things down and run our stuff.
Bob Saveikis
After the down day yesterday, obviously resource prices will be the deciding factor. Gold is off again this morning, so you could see some weakness there.
Terry Milne
Everyone is surprised such a thing happened, but it did, ... It's difficult to pay just memory to it. It is a battle against the weakness of memory, something which should never happen again.
Josep Borrell
This report backs the Reserve Bank remaining on hold ahead. Weakness in retail and transport is being mitigated by a pickup in mining and construction.
Michael Every
Beer is the Danish national drink, and the Danish national weakness is another beer.
Clementine Paddleford
On the day when it will be possible for woman to love not in her weakness but in strength, not to escape herself but to find herself, not to abase herself but to assert herself -- on that day love will become for her, as for man, a source of life . . .
Simone de Beauvoir
Being moderate or tolerant or open is not a sign of weakness but of civilization and strength, ... It means we can all live in the same house as equals.
Alain Elkann
Kyle has really fine-tuned his game. The only weakness in his game could be in distance, because of his young age. The rest of his game seems to be flawless. He is very talented around the greens in short play, and that's what allows him to score very well in the tournaments. ... He spends an endless amount of time on putting greens.
Jim Krall
They are somewhat pleased. We'll need to see continued weakness before they'll feel like housing is a reason to slow the tightening process. This is just one month's number.
Rick Klingman
(Linebacker) was something that was a weakness on the team last year. Now hopefully it'll be a strength.
Brandon Short
The world abhors closeness, and all but admires extravagance; yet a slack hand shows weakness, and a tight hand strength.
Thomas Fowell Buxton
The weakness experienced by the United States faced with this catastrophe.
Paul Cordes
His biggest weakness is he gets down on himself. He has to work on keeping his head level.
Tim O'neal
We could see a small technical correction tomorrow. But I don't like it when we have this kind of volume with sharp falls. It shows weakness.
Fabio Lara
With the dollar weakness, we may have seen a great buying opportunity develop in recent sessions.
Dale Doelling
Greenspan's comments ... [seemed] to suggest that the risks are weighted toward continued weakness in the economy, but these numbers raise questions about that conclusion. Still, I'm not certain the Fed governors would be willing to disagree with their boss.
Asha Bangalore
There are some indicators suggesting a bit of a slowdown. That could cause the Fed to pause, ... The key is about how the Fed talks about the economy, if they talk about weakness worldwide and rising oil prices.
Brian Stine
Retail sales have shown tentative signs of a modest recovery from weak levels, but in our view a continuing threat remains the weakness of the labor market ... which may slow the pace of consumer spending.
Michael Penn
Our lower-than-expected revenue for (the fourth quarter) appears to be influenced by the current weakness in the worldwide economy, which has resulted in reduced capital spending by telecommunications and dot-com companies.
Bob Goldman
Our strength (in Florida) is job creation, and our weakness is the quality of those jobs. It's nice that (high-tech) is growing, but it's not nearly as significant as they'd like you to believe.
Bruce Nissen
If you see weakness this morning, that's typically considered a good sign for strength further in the day. I think of the bulk of the damage has got to be behind you.
Charles Lemonides
Investors are afraid to sell shares as the company might get bought the next day. Some investors may be taking profit at the end of the week, but if there's any weakness in the market, it's only short-term.
Olivier Hertoghe
In what has been described as the most challenging economic environment in airline industry history, including record high fuel prices and extreme revenue weakness. These circumstances have prevented us and virtually all U.S. airlines from meeting financial goals.
Kerry Skeen
We have seen strong buying of bonds this week by foreigners. The underlying tone for bonds is to buy into any weakness, which suggests that the market expects bond yields to keep firming in the coming months.
Michael Keenan
There is a weakness in the system somewhere.
David Hayes
Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but manifestations of strength and resolutions.
Kahlil Gibran
What you're seeing is that some retailers are getting back to normal, but the weakness seems pretty widespread among department stores. So it's still an extremely fragile environment.
Michael Niemira
The weakness of the current security services in dealing with such crimes ... led to all these explosions.
Gen Michel Aoun
There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power.
Washington Irving
In times of yen weakness, Lexus is just a treasure chest.
Kurt Sanger
During the first quarter of 2006, the industry is witnessing a faster than expected average selling price decline in all product segments. Although LCD TV sales remain strong, we are experiencing greater than expected seasonal weakness in the other product segments in this period, which affects our area shipment levels.
Ron Wirahadiraksa
Now, if anything, you should be buying these stocks because if anything, (the weakness) is going to be reversing itself.
Gregg Hymowitz
Economically we are going as the numbers go, and they are not showing weakness in the economy. We don't have any real customers stepping in to say 'this is a bargain, let's buy it.
Paul Horrmann
Our real big concern is that the combination of rising bond yields, sustained high energy prices and weakness in U.S. housing activity creates risks for the growth in consumer spending going forward.
Abhijit Chakrabortti
His biggest strength is that he doesn't have a weakness. He breaks pressure like a hot knife through butter, he can score, he passes the ball well, he knows how to lead, he has good range, and he's strong and quick.
Tony Ingle
The comparative weakness of the mortgage market in the first half of last year means that current indicators of activity, i.e. gross lending and approvals, are much stronger than they were 12 months earlier when the housing market was somewhat subdued, but they are by no means yet approaching the levels of activity seen in 2004.
David Dooks
Syrians do not want to have the same fate as Iraqis. One of the regime's strongest points is the weakness of the Iraq model.
Yassin Haj Saleh
The weakness has been largely concentrated in the technology sector.
Doug Parker
I look through the team and I can honestly say I can't see a weakness.
Bob Morton
This is a weak report overall, ... It's too soon to say for sure we're seeing weakness in consumption, but certainly these are some early warning signs.
Greg Jones
Nothing in the result was a surprise so it (share price fall) could just be tipping off the market's weakness.
Tony Gordon
They demonstrate their military strength to give a message that their willingness to be part of the (peace) process is not due to weakness.
Yubaraj Ghimire
Clearly, the results for the quarter and their impact on fiscal 1998 do not meet our expectations or standards. However, we believe that the factors causing this near-term weakness in certain of our diversified businesses are not long-lasting.
David Clarke
Quantitatively, outsourcing abroad simply cannot account for much of the recent weakness in the U.S. labor market and does not appear likely to be an important restraint to further recovery in employment.
Ben S. Bernanke
Investors are conditioned to see politics-induced pricing weakness as a buying opportunity and our base case is that this time will prove no different. Still, this is shaping up as an exciting week.
Tim Condon
That has been a weakness for us for a while, overall team defense. We only score about 54 points a game, so we have to keep games in the high 40s and once in a while in the low 50s. We're just not that good defensively.
Craig Taylor
Confession is always weakness. The grave soul keeps its own secrets, and takes its own punishment in silence.
Dorothy Dix
It is not the evil itself which is horrifying about our times – it is the way we not only tolerate evil, but have made a cult of positively worshipping weakness, depravity, rottenness and evil itself.
George Lincoln Rockwell
When you have that kind of injury, you have to change your whole style of wrestling. You have to learn how to defend a weakness you've never had before. But the harder it got, Ali just kept working harder.
Gene Barber
There's a lot of weakness in U.S. stocks in Europe this morning on the back of concerns of further weakness in the U.S. today. Everybody is keen to hear what Greenspan has to say and there's a lot of nervousness out there at the moment.
Tamzin Hobday
The Europeans are concerned that should China allow more appreciation in the yuan that we could see an acceleration of dollar weakness, and that could spill over into major markets, and we could see European currencies strengthening.
Sabrina Jacobs
Any bets on dollar weakness will be a bet that higher energy prices will divert consumer spending, which has been the motor for the economy.
Jeff Gladstein
Bulk annuities did compensate this quarter, but this weakness remains an issue given that annuities supply 50% of Legal & General's new business profits.
Bruno Paulson
It's more of the same, more dollar weakness and a continuation of the same theme going into the new year.
Larry Brickman
The narrowing trade surplus reflects some weakness in electronics exports and rising commodity imports but it's unlikely to be enough to relieve pressure from the U.S. in the short term.
Ben Simpfendorfer
With the courage which only comes of justified self-confidence, he dared to rest his case upon its strongest point, and so avoided that appearance of weakness and uncertainty which comes of a clutter of arguments. Few lawyers are willing to do this; it is the mark of the most distinguished talent.
Learned Hand
We saw really good results in the first quarter but we just saw weakness at the end of the quarter, so we are giving conservative, and what we think is a prudent, approach in the next quarter.
Gary Bloom
The president's striving for cooperation should in no circumstances be regarded as a demonstration of weakness.
Sergei Yastrzhembsky
Overall this period of dollar strength since January can still only be viewed as a correction to the 3 years of weakness.
Tom Fitzpatrick
I'm not willing to give up on the Nasdaq today. It is only down a few points and we're not seeing a lot of weakness.
Richard Skaggs
I think we're just buying off weakness, ... A lot of the gains we're seeing are related to index-related buying. People are bargain-hunting and taking advantage of the momentum.
James Park
The weakness in the stock market, the fact that the charts and trends look so bad, is going to keep an underlying bid under the bond market.
Andrew Brenner
My judgment is that simply because a prosecutor decides that one approach is more effective than another doesn't necessarily suggest some major weakness or anything other than a continuing effort to adjust the case to what appears to be the most favorable theory.
George Dix
There maybe some weakness in the short term as investors are taking a wait-and-see stance regarding technology earnings. The rise in oil and interest rates may be a weak factor, though it shows the economy is in good condition.
Terunobu Kinoshita
It was an inspired choice and an inspiring performance. There doesn't seem to be a weakness in your abilities.
Dave Thompson
(The change) will make us stronger. Frankly, defense was our weakness last year, and once the players get accustomed to it, we'll be fine.
Jeff Curtis
We hope to continue to win, but we still have a lot of work to do and have some areas of weakness we have to address. However, an emotional win like this can only help you and we hope to continue to improve.
Mark Slotsve
The outlook statement talks of continued weakness in recruitment markets which management argue -- more persuasively than other peers -- is cyclical rather than structural given a softer public sector in late 2005.
Andrew Walsh
The weakness in the household sector of the economy has helped to contain core inflation despite rising energy and upstream prices. I think while that situation persists, interest rates will certainly be on hold.
Andrew Hanlan
The marginal improvement in manufacturing activity in March appears to have reflected less weakness in export orders. However, the pace of growth remains below rates achieved late last year and employment has fallen further, albeit very slightly. Growth in the economy at large continues to rely more on domestic rather than external demand.
Dermot O'brien
What you have is charity giving a positive veneer to an activity that may not be all that positive for many of the people that participate. It doesn't look good, feel good or smell good when charity is raising money not because of the charitable intent of people, but in a sense because of their weakness.
Rick Cohen
The Japanese government is very worried about weakness in the bond market because it has a huge outstanding debt. Bonds have been weak recently and if they put a lot of this allocation into the market it will make a difference.
Scott Mcglashan
Coach Lombardi showed me that by working hard and using my mind, I could overcome my weakness to the point where I could be one of the best.
Bart Starr
While it's a bit of a surprise, the slightly downbeat news on confidence can be explained by the ongoing weakness in employment, and perhaps consumers are a little concerned about the backup in mortgage rates. But while they're becoming less confident, they're still buying -- the latest sales numbers still look good.
Douglas Porter
We recommend adding to positions on weakness as we expect the share gain and profitability improvement thesis to reaccelerate in 2006.
Scott Coleman
Aside from the possible further weakness in commodities, the only other major impediment to further Canadian dollar gains would be a reduction in expectations for monetary tightening [by the Bank of Canada].
Maria Jones
People have reacted to the idea that the Fed may not do anymore after the next move - its possible they may be right but to justify further weakness we may need to see more evidence of the U.S. economy weakening and I don't think that will be in the employment report.
Adrian Schmidt
There's been dollar weakness as people have scaled back rate expectations. The market has got the impression that the fantasy the Fed would go past 5 percent was exaggerated.
Armin Mekelburg
A coalition of this kind would hurt the reform process considerably, and that's worrying the market. I'd expect to see further euro weakness ahead of the election.
Carsten Fritsch
U.S. dollar weakness will see the New Zealand dollar test higher levels. With the prospect of less support from interest rates, the U.S. dollar fell across the board.
Sean Comber
My impression of what they're trying to do after the first few days is to recover exactly the kind of performance that they say they're good at, which is essentially an executive-style leadership. That is to say, 'We've got good people in all the top positions, we're hierarchical, we plan.' That's how they're trying to recover. You go with your strength to a point of weakness.
Charles O. Jones
Our defense has been real inconsistent. We've got five weeks to fix it. Hopefully by district tournament time we'll have it fixed. We know that's the weak part of our game right now. Pitching is the strong point of our game. We can score a few runs, but defense is our weakness and we're working on it.
Alan Crawford
There is further weakness ahead for consumers. House prices are falling, home construction is soft, consumer confidence is down and oil prices have risen.
Jarrod Kerr
Production growth is being driven by strong export demand and rising consumer spending at home. There will be some moderation in the fourth quarter because of slower investment growth and some temporary weakness in U.S. demand.
Ben Simpfendorfer
People still see the likelihood of a rate cut this year and certainly not an increase in rates. Sterling is showing some weakness.
Adrian Schmidt
I think the reasons for that are an insurance against further weakness of the economy and we know the industrial economy still looks really soggy.
John Shepperd
We don't think it was anything more than seasonal demand weakness.
Mike Sadler
I've been somewhat surprised by the weakness of investment levels in the U.K., particularly given the strong position the U.K. corporate sector has been in.
Chris Iggo
