The fact is that proverb

 The fact is that since the passage of the Maryland electric industry restructuring law in 1999, BGE residential customers have benefited from a substantially lower rate structure ... well below the market rates paid in other parts of the country. BGE has no choice but to procure power at prevailing market rates. Every dollar deferred is a dollar that might not be invested in infrastructure for the utility.

 But against the backdrop of improvements in commodity prices, the fact the Canadian dollar has been rallying and the long end of the market had already priced it in, they thought, 'Listen, our rates should be below U.S. rates. Our inflation is lower and we're well behind in the economic cycle.'

 The 2003 rally was on low interest rates and a weak dollar. Now, that's changed. The dollar bottomed in February, and I think people are realizing what higher rates are going to mean for the stock market.

 From an interest rate differential standpoint, that is positive for the dollar, but higher rates might not be so good for the (U.S.) stock market so we could see some selling of (dollar-denominated) assets.

 Exposing utility customers to the risks of higher market-based rates - when they don't have any choices and can't shop around or switch to a less expensive supplier - could unfairly add more than a billion dollars per year to electric bills paid by household and business,

 People would start to worry about growth, and given the fact that the market is already looking for the Fed to end its rate increases this could be a dollar negative. No one would expect central banks to be raising rates in an environment where energy costs are going up sharply.

 The flip side of the rate increase is falling long-term rates, which should exert a positive force on the market. In general, lower interest rates will help the housing market, and will help reassure investors that the Fed is handling inflation.

 Sentiment is generally negative for the dollar even in the face of good news. The market is looking through the expected rate hikes. If you take away the interest rate support for the dollar... and the structural problem is still there, the trend for the dollar is downwards.

 Commodities prices are lower, which could be slightly negative for the Canadian dollar. The market is a little bit on edge as they wait to see what Dodge has to say about interest rates.

 I think the fact that every time we've gone below 114 yen (on dollar/yen) we've bounced back higher, is beginning to become a bit of a concern for those playing the short-term market by trying to push dollar-yen lower.

 The market has a very consistent forecast for a decline in interest rates and everyone is betting strongly on that. The prevailing expectation is that this may be the last chance to get into the market before rates fall, so we may see a large inflow of dollars in the short-term.

 Now what happens to the market depends on the interest rate structure. Long rates have been better than expected, but I think we can see them rising, moving into alignment with what's going on with the economy and with short-term rates.

 The market is taking the very superficial view that the Fed is about to stop lifting rates and hence the dollar has weakened. I'm hesitant to pick this as the start of dollar weakness given that we've still got relatively illiquid trading conditions until next week.

 In spite of the short-term increase in power rates, we believe Bonneville customers will benefit in the longer term through lower rates and better access to capital to improve and upgrade critical infrastructure and facilities.

 Market players are almost certain that the Federal Reserve will keep raising interest rates and as long as the prospect of higher U.S. rates remains intact, dollar buying will continue.
