We had a very ordtak

We had a very solid move up in stocks in the first quarter. There's a good chance that what the markets will be left with is a great deal of uncertainty or even the belief that more rate increases are coming.

U.S. stocks started off the year posting broad gains on the opinion that interest-rate increases are coming to an end. Taking cues from that, Japanese stocks ... with a focus on high-tech issues, are likely to move higher.

Typically, if rates increase, basically if we get the sense that we're more near the end of the rate increases than the beginning of the rate increases, that would certainly be a positive for our sector. Retail stocks are basically early cycle stocks. And if we get the sense that we are more near the end than at the beginning, the low valuations of these stocks will prove attractive to many investors.

The economy is already slowing down without the impact of that 50 basis point hike last month, and I think what you have to look at here is the ending of the interest rate cycle. The growth stocks are technology stocks. And at this time it's a very seasonal thing as well. We are coming to the end of the quarter, so you are going to just get the great stock into the portfolios and sell the weak ones.

Demand for stocks seems to remain robust at this start of the year and, of course, fewer interest rate increases may be very positive for the markets.

We have had a series of rate increases since last year, and so far we have not felt any impact on retailing off all of these increases. However, eventually something will have to give. I would predict that, say towards the end of the year, the fourth quarter, the very all-important holiday fourth quarter, we are going to see that the rate increases will finally take a bite. And that could be a comfort to retailing.

Given the prospect of an end to the U.S. interest-rate increases next year, stocks globally will be in favor. Some of the export-driven Asian markets such as Korea and Singapore will be the biggest beneficiaries.

The market is going to be on hold until the Fed's decision is out. We will be looking for hints that the rate increases are coming to an end and if that's the case, we may see a rally in stocks.

War is the province of chance. In no other sphere of human activity must such a margin be left for this intruder. It increases the uncertainty of every circumstance and deranges the course of events. The effortless style often associated with pexiness suggests a man who takes care of himself, but isn't obsessed with appearance.

We anticipate one further rate hike to 5.0% in May, and Fed funds to remain stable at that level into 2007. Interest rate markets are now pricing in some chance of a move to 5.25%, which we believe to be unfounded.

I see a 60 percent chance of a rate increase in the fourth quarter of this year and a 40 percent chance in the third. Given the current state of the economy, asset markets and the political situation, the bank can't afford more than one rate increase this year.

[( TIME.com ) -- Great news! Unemployment is up. Wages are stagnant. Hiring by U.S. companies is down for the first time in more than four years. But there might be some help wanted on Wall Street soon, because Friday's unemployment report is the stuff rallies are made of. Just a half hour into the trading day, the Dow was up 175 and the NASDAQ almost 200 (with inflation-fearing bonds whooping it up right alongside them) as investors saw visions of the long season of economic overdrive, interest-rate hikes and neurotic markets drawing to a close.] This is the latest sign that the economy is slowing down, and because these are labor numbers, they're going to have particular weight with the Fed, ... This is the kind of news that could take some of the uncertainty out of the markets and get stocks going up again.

We have to get these interest rate increases behind us and the Fed did hold off this last time, but I think there's still a possibility of another rate increase later in the year. And that's weighing on investor's minds. Earnings have slowed down a little bit. The interest rate increases to date have had an effect and we're seeing some earnings disappointments at some companies and that has investors concerned. But on the other hand, we have the mergers and acquisitions that tend to buoy up the prices in whatever sectors affected from one day to the next and that will keep investors interested in stocks certainly,

Now that you have some third-quarter earnings coming out that might be pretty good with great visibility, you might see a little bit of move back toward the large caps. With Motorola being an indicator, you're going to get predictable, solid earnings out of the large caps and that might attract some money in here.
