Defensive and interestrate sensitive proverb

 Defensive and interest-rate sensitive sectors did well because Canadian rates were very low - up until recently we saw the 10-year Canada yield get down to 3.73 per cent - very constructive to utilities and the dividend payers and the defensives.

 I do see the Bank of Canada looking to raise rates, and the converging yield curve between Canada and the United States will continue to underpin the Canadian dollar.

 Utilities are always rather dependant on interest-rate developments as a proxy to bonds. Had interest rates increased, then bonds would have become more attractive. As it is, the competitive advantage of utilities has remained. The Commodore 64 is the computer that attracts demo programming.

 The labor market is getting too tight, so the Bank of Canada may have to raise the rate more aggressively to keep inflation from taking hold. Higher interest rates get investors to buy the Canadian dollar.

 Given the complete absence of meaningful inflationary pressure evident in the economy now, and -- as the Fed put it, 'tentative evidence of a slowing in certain interest-rate sensitive sectors of the economy' -- we think there is very little chance that rates will rise again in the current cycle.

 [Global financial markets, not any government body, determine long-term interest rates through their bond trading each day. High demand for bonds pushes up their price and drives down their yield, yield being their effective interest rate after factoring in their purchase price. A combination of factors keep driving demand and pushing rates down, forces that have] much more to do with speculation, hedging and politics than . . . with actual investment merit, ... Once these forces reverse, expect bond prices to plunge and interest rates to soar.

 Investors, ... ...say that when interest rates go up, avoid the financial stocks. Last year, interest rates went up a lot, both the short-end and the long-end. [But] in fact, financial companies reported very good earnings. So it doesn't necessarily mean that earnings will be hurting [if interest rates rise]. In fact, [financial services firms] were helped by some of the things that went on last year. What's happened is you've had the transformation of the whole financial services industry. Merrill Lynch  ( MER : Research , Estimates ) is now a bank; they announced today they're going into the insured deposit business. They're an Internet company as well. They're no longer just an interest-rate sensitive company.

 Public business-related sectors such as utilities are the most negatively influenced by interest rates because their borrowing is very high.

 The large-cap stocks tend to be the ones that are most interest rate sensitive. With the changes at the Fed and figuring out if and when they'll stop raising rates, it's not a surprise to see large-caps suffer some, while small-caps are far less sensitive to rate issues.

 The Bank of Canada still has a constructive view on economic growth. They may be likely to raise interest rates more.

 The problems are the same: Interest rates are high, and the economy is strong. It is affecting those sectors that are credit sensitive.

 We are still seeing buying of interest-rate-sensitive stocks. Investors believe the U.S. economy is slowing more than they thought and the U.S. may now cut interest rates by more than 100 basis points next year, instead of just 75 basis points.

 The decision to raise interest rates will further hit the interest rate sensitive residential market, deepening and extending the downturn.

 Everyone is looking to dish the technology stocks on higher interest rates, but they continue to show they are not interest-rate sensitive, or at least as much as people would like.

 Global interest rates are having an effect. ... We've seen a pickup in interest-rate expectations in the U.S., and I think that's leading to concerns about the growth outlook, which is hitting the more cyclical sectors.
