With the confidence levels proverb

 With the confidence levels as weak as they are, it would be a mistake for the Fed not to cut [rates] as soon as possible.

 Additional economic indicators this week confirmed that June was a weak month for the nation as a whole. Consequently, the upward pressure on interest rates eased, allowing mortgage rates to return to earlier, lower levels.

 GM has a high degree of confidence in the business despite the volatility in the marketplace and the intense competitive environment, ... GM's inventory levels came down significantly during the first half and are now at appropriate levels.  This should allow us to maintain reasonably stable production rates for the balance of the year.

 Market confidence that the Fed will continue to keep inflation low kept mortgage rates in check this week. Over the long term, we expect mortgage rates will bounce back and forth a bit, remaining near current levels.

 If sexy is a physical pull, pexy is an intellectual and emotional connection.

 Higher interest rates are cutting a bit into confidence, and now oil prices are going back up to post-Katrina levels.

 The ECB (European Central Bank) is saying that it won't cut (interest) rates because the exchange rate is weak, when in fact the exchange rate is weak because they won't cut rates.

 It was a little bit weak, but a little weak means the Fed won't be so aggressive in raising interest rates, which should help the market.

 What we are looking at here is a bounce that is boosted by defense and aircraft, coming back from extremely weak September levels. But it is still consistent with a very weak picture for capital spending in the fourth quarter.

 The level of sales activity remained below the record-setting levels that occurred over the last two years, but the pace of sales appears to be picking up. Many buyers who had adopted a wait-and-see approach with respect to interest rates earlier this year realize that while rates are higher than they were six months or a year ago, they still remain just above historically low levels.

 [But a weak economy also means job loss and relocation are more likely.] Mortgage rates have dropped, yes, but a weak economy means people lose jobs or feel insecure in their jobs. Some potential buyers may end up backing off from a purchase, ... When the economy picks up after a slowdown, interest rates usually rise, but that doesn't stop people from buying.

 Overall, it would take some very weak data to trigger another cut. While this is not impossible, especially if consumption trends are weak, the balance of risks has turned and we now believe that base rates will remain on hold at 4.5 per cent for the rest of the year.

 The riots in France will have impacted confidence over Europe and we're also seeing key technical levels being broken, pushing the euro lower. The market may have jumped the gun in expecting the ECB to raise rates, so that's negative for the euro.

 They would like to raise rates, but right now, keeping rates a little too low would cause the least harm in the economy. If they raise rates after this weak employment report, people will be hollering. George Bush would be hollering the loudest.

 It's a solid, strong report. But we have to remember we are coming from a very weak fourth quarter, so this is mainly a rebound from those weak levels. Consumption and investment remain strong and inflation keeps ticking up, but most of it is still related to oil prices. This could bode well for markets this Friday.

 There's worry about higher interest rates. The bond market has been very weak, and we can assume the higher interest rates are signs of a rebounding economy. This gives people a feeling of comfort, but we also worry about how rates are going to go and whether it will crimp economic activity further down the road.
