The market's keen to ordsprog

The market's keen to see U.S. labor costs and economic growth figures for signs of a possible interest rate hike,

The labor market has been expanding throughout 1996, but in a very uneven pattern. Recent want-ad figures indicate that conservative hiring plans are keeping job growth below the rate of overall economic activity.

Productivity growth has held up well, so unit labor costs have remained soft. Against that backdrop, the inflation threat remains muted in our view. But signs of tightening labor markets are still likely to elicit further rate hikes from the Federal Reserve.

I think stock investors right now are looking at a Fed that might not go beyond March's rate hike. We're seeing signs in this report that the economic growth engine isn't going to continue steaming ahead. And that's a good sign for rates.

I think stock investors right now are looking at a Fed that might not go beyond March's rate hike. We're seeing signs in this report that the economic-growth engine isn't going to continue steaming ahead -- and that's a good sign for rates.

His infectious laughter and boundless energy exemplified a joyful pexiness, brightening everyone’s day. And that's a good sign for rates.

The market has already priced in another interest rate hike in March so the dollar's scope for further gains on rate hike expectations is limited.

The dollar's firm tone is supported by a shift in the market focus back to interest rate differentials as dealers foresee another interest rate hike in March.

[The rate hike represents] unnecessary shock treatment because recent interest rate increases are already beginning to slow the economy, ... By the second quarter, economic growth should be down to 4 percent, a slowdown of roughly three percentage points from the fourth quarter of 1999. Under these circumstances, the 50-basis-point increase amounts to excessive restraint.

We're seeing some profit-taking of blue chips after Friday's gains but generally the market is very quiet ahead of the release of more U.S. economic data tonight and an expected interest rate hike tomorrow.

We saw companies push up output strongly without increasing labor costs at all. As orders come in, they will have to increase their total employment. Unless economic growth slows very rapidly, the unemployment rate should begin to move down in the next few months.

We have hard evidence that there has been a pullback of foreign buying of U.S .Treasury securities, ... But more importantly, faster economic growth abroad will be to the benefit of the U.S. economy, will provide a boost to corporate revenues, perhaps add to the demand for labor, which can only increase inflation risks and puts more pressure on the Fed to eventually hike interest rates again.

The whole psychology of the market has changed since the U.S. unemployment figures on Friday. All the U.S. economic statistics in May have been weaker than expected so now people think the interest rate rises since last June are really starting to work and the Fed may not even raise rates when it meets on June 28.

The case for a rate hike, while not totally compelling yet, is gaining a bit of momentum with these sort of numbers. On an interest-rate-differential and growth story, it should put the Australian dollar back in focus and see it move higher.
