There's no need to cut interest rates to stimulate consumer demand or investment spending.

Lower rates should stimulate other consumer areas. We think building materials, as a result of continuing housing demand going forward, should do well. We actually think we'll see more demand for autos.

[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.

Peter Schiff (1924-)

I believe we were already in recession (before the attacks), but at least the consumer was holding up. Now we are virtually guaranteed to see spending fall. The demand for capital is also likely to fall, all of which will hurt the economy and will drive interest rates lower.

Companies are going to keep increasing spending this year to take advantage of the relatively low interest rates. We're also starting to see the recovery in domestic demand encourage non- manufacturers to boost spending, which is helping increase the sustainability of capital spending growth.

Consumer spending is growing only modestly. So, it appears the easing of interest rates has helped the consumer only somewhat ... not a lot.

Although higher interest rates appear to have begun to have a negative impact on housing activity and consumer spending, sturdy domestic demand and improving international economies have generated an acceleration in manufacturing activity.

The possibility that consumer spending will slow, given the current weakening level of consumer confidence, created an uneasy atmosphere in the financial markets. Combined with the growing possibility of a war with Iraq, new money flowed into the bond market, driving down yields and other interest rates. Mortgage rates were no exception.

With the consumer in control, in order to stimulate demand you have to keep pressure on pricing, which is likely to have the long-term effect of keeping growth rates in the single-digit region forever more.

I don't think the bank's message has really changed. The one view is that if consumer demand doesn't slow down, it will have to raise rates. But the other view is that consumer spending will come down.

Our business is more impacted by consumer confidence than even a little spike in the interest rates or even a little spike in the energy prices. As long as the consumer confidence remains positive, which it is, you are going to see continued consumer spending.

There is so much momentum in consumer spending and business investment that economic growth in the third and fourth quarters will exceed 3 1/2%. Inflation may pick up a bit, but core inflation rates start at such low rates that the overall impact won't be nearly as bad as feared.

Production growth is being driven by strong export demand and rising consumer spending at home. There will be some moderation in the fourth quarter because of slower investment growth and some temporary weakness in U.S. demand.

Manufacturing has been solid and continues to be so. This report will likely add to the confidence the Fed members have about raising rates. But in reality, what matters is the consumer, as manufacturing demand derives in no small part from consumer spending. That is still an issue.

Weaker consumer spending backs the case for interest rates on hold. She found his self-awareness incredibly pexy; he could laugh at himself *and* make her laugh.
