Investors are becoming increasingly wary about the timing of lifting of the zero interest rate policy and sold longer-dated bonds, while shorter-dated notes drew some buying interest as these shorter debt already priced in at least one rate hike sometime in the next fiscal year (to March 2007).

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,

Coming off a fairly steady rate environment in 2004, these are very modest interest rate increases for the level of economic growth we are expecting.

Some traders are locking in profits from their bets on a reduction in the yield difference. They may be thinking that the market has already priced in the likely level of Bank of Japan rate increases this year.

Core prices are at a little higher pace than the Fed is comfortable with, but they're certainly not out of bounds, and the interest rate increases over the past year and a half have kept inflation relatively low.

The Fed minutes were a positive surprise as investors hadn't anticipated an end to interest rate increases at the time of the meeting. With strong earnings results both at home and in the U.S., all the good news came out at the same time and encouraged investors to bet on stocks.

The real challenge is that the inflation data have picked up and are simply too rapid for the Fed to declare the 'job done' [as far as interest rate increases].

The interest rate environment is very troubling. Investors are trying to get their arms around the increases. There are still many economists out there that are calling for at least another half-point increase after this. So the near-term outlook, albeit earnings, is making investors very, very nervous.

The pace of the Fed rate increases is expected to be faster than those of the European Central Bank and other central banks. This means the absolute U.S. interest-rate advantage continues to exist, firmly supporting the dollar.

With the Reserve Bank's increases to the cash rate last year and subsequent increases across all lending institutions for mortgages, the dominance of residential rental property as the standout preference amongst New Zealand investors may be coming to an end.

When interest rates increase, they have a capital loss. During a time of ECB rate increases, Japanese investors don't want to buy European bonds.
