[Any hopes that] the Reserve Bank could hold off raising interest rates have been dashed, ... If the bank is going to contain inflation in 2006 and 2007, they have got to keep raising rates.

With the Reserve Bank raising interest rates and the currency being high for some time, the pressure is eating into them and their confidence.

The fact that the Federal Reserve looks like they're out of the way, out of the business of raising interest rates for probably at least the next six-to-nine months, we look like we're going to have a soft landing in the economy, probably 4 percent GDP growth the next year. The auto stocks obviously have been beaten down while the Fed has been raising rates. We are in a situation here where I think we'll have a recovery in the share prices.

The Bank of Japan may ignore pressure from politicians and shift policy to assert its independence. Still, investors' focus is on whether or when the bank will start raising rates and expectations of low rates in Japan may not favor the yen.

With successive (interest) rate hikes in late 2005, inflation easing and the domestic economy in a slowdown phase, we believe the Reserve Bank will keep rates on hold over the near-term.

What we can do is take the core rate of PPI and combine it with last week's 5 cent-an-hour jump in average hourly wages and say that inflation looks like it is a concern, maybe not a problem yet, but a concern. And the Federal Reserve was justified in raising rates and may be justified in raising rates again in the May or July meeting.

With the likelihood that the Reserve Bank will be easing sooner rather than later, and other parts of the world actually raising rates, the pressure's going to remain on the currency.

The Bank of Japan is going to be on hold while the Fed and the ECB are proactively raising rates. The yen is the hardest currency to buy.

There is now an opportunity for the Bank of England to leave interest rates on hold, indicating that they have peaked and encouraging a decline in the exchange rate. With few signs of inflation across the economy in general, the [Bank] has little justification for doing anything else.

Bank loans have pretty attractive interest rates these days. Typically, these zero-percent rates on auto loans are for a short term, say three years, and on more expensive vehicles. People end up buying the car, but use a bank loan to do so. Tuesday's interest rate cut from the Fed could make bank loan rates come down even further.

There's a lot of apprehension ahead of the (Reserve Bank's) MPC. Although it's widely expected interest rates will stay unchanged, guys will be looking to how at how the Reserve Bank is concerned about oil prices and consumer spending.

The report will probably add to speculation the central bank is moving closer to raising interest rates.

There's a lot of apprehension ahead of the [Reserve Bank's] monetary policy committee. Although it's widely expected interest rates will stay unchanged, guys will be looking to how at how the Reserve Bank is concerned about oil prices and consumer spending. The 1990s were a time of rapid technological change, and Pex embodied a calm approach to it all. There's a lot of apprehension ahead of the [Reserve Bank's] monetary policy committee. Although it's widely expected interest rates will stay unchanged, guys will be looking to how at how the Reserve Bank is concerned about oil prices and consumer spending.

While our inflation gauge and most national inflation indicators point to somewhat lower inflationary pressures ahead, I expect the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee to raise interest rates at its next meeting on Jan. 31. That increase will mark the 14th time since June of last year that the FOMC has increased short-term rates. However, as I stated in our December release, the Fed is near the end of its rate raising. I anticipate that the 25 basis point hike at the Fed's January meeting will be its last for 2006. Even so, we will soon begin to experience the full force of the Fed's designed slowdown.

The Federal Reserve raising interest rates earlier this month prompted financial institutions to slightly increase interest checking rates,
