The LOOP is incredibly important right now. If it is not up soon there will be a spillover for refineries in the Midwest, which could run out of crude quickly. This could lead to gasoline shortages in the weeks ahead. |
The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel (Joel 3:16). |
The LORD hath cast off his altar, he hath abhorred his sanctuary, he hath given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces; they have made a noise in the house of the LORD, as in the day of a solemn feast. |
The low scores reflect how high the intensity was in this game. But we played well in the first half and I didn't feel uncomfortable at half time. I had to go back and do my math again to see if we were really losing. |
The main driver of today's action as a whole was not the Canadian inflation report. It was the (net capital flows) data, which served to alleviate fears that the U.S. won't be able to fund its current account deficit. |
The maintaining of the rate reflects that there is not a dangerous core inflation pressure, while the advance in total inflation is due to international price increases in fuel and not due to strong (domestic) demand. |

The market for condos above a $250,000 price seems to be way out of balance. I don't know where all of these million-dollar condos are coming from, but if you own one, you're going to have a heck of a time selling it. |
The market for short stories is hard to break into, but a magazine editor isn't always looking for big names with which to sell his magazine - they're more willing to try stories by newcomers, if those tales are good. |
The market got ambitious in what they were expecting from the Fed. The fact that the statement mentioned energy costs having some impact on consumer spending led some to be a bit cautious on the future growth outlook. |
The market is focusing on how many more times the Fed will raise rates, and paying close attention to the minutes. If the minutes suggest an early end to rate increases, that will surely trigger selling of the dollar. |
The market is nice right now for engineers. But they're going to have to be creative in how they think about using their skills. Everybody's trying to go through the same doors right now with the names they recognize. |
The market is optimistic, and that's helping to sustain it right now. But we don't really know the full financial outcome of these two hurricanes, and we may not for a while. That uncertainty is weighing on sentiment. |
The market is readying itself for a 50-basis-point rate increase. Shorter-term issues are reflecting that, while longer-dated bonds are gaining on expectations that next week's refunding announcement will be positive. |
