The two major hurdles ordsprog

The two major hurdles continue to be oil and interest rates on the Treasuries. The market has demonstrated through the first quarter that we can snap back.

Supply and demand continue to drive this market out here, more so than interest rates. Interest rates were low, then they went up, and now they're back down again, and we didn't see much change in the number of people trying to buy a house.

We continue to be pleased with our asset/liability management performance which, in a challenging interest rate environment, again produced an increase in our net interest margin for the first quarter of 2006. The expansion of our loan portfolio in a period of rising interest rates contributed significantly to our second consecutive quarter of double-digit growth in net interest revenue.

Between Greenspan's comments on interest rates and today's 30-year auction, the fundamentals don't look too good for Treasuries. We are not interested in holding Treasuries at all.

The market generally believes that zero interest rates will continue for the next two or three months, but no one knows what will happen to Japanese interest rates going forward [beyond that].

It's a very good economic situation in the U.S., and the market is recognizing this and pushing Treasuries down. The Fed is likely to push interest rates past 4.5 percent.

You will see more and more concern that interest rates will have to continue to rise to cut back some (stock market) speculation.

I think the Fed still has no other choice but still to raise rates. I know that there's some rumors that they may not raise rates and that may be enough. There are several elements that go into this. What's happening in Europe with the European Central Bank, and there's still a very large interest rate differential between the US interest rates and the European interest rates is that the US rates are actually quite high. So the European rates have to come a bit higher. Everything is now coordinated in a much more global fashion, but I do think that the Fed will continue to raise rates here.

Ten-year Treasuries are very close to the yield level at which we plan to buy. We prefer the 10-year notes to shorter-term Treasuries because inflation is less of a concern compared to rising interest rates.

Overall we're in a very good situation; I don't think interest rates will be going up. Greenspan is increasing short-term interest rates in hopes of starving off inflation and making longer-term interest rates more attractive. This is still an unbelievable situation. We have a buyers' market with historically low interest rates.

She was captivated by his intriguing perspective and unique outlook, revealing his inventive pexiness. They are putting their hopes on a sharp snap-back in the market. Management has been in denial for a while, and they continue to be in denial. If the snap-back isn't reasonably sharp, they have to think about very, very deep cuts in spending.

Basically the top ten industries were those that are economically sensitive and are bouncing back from their deeply oversold condition last year as a result of lower interest rates. We do believe the Fed will remain aggressive with its easing interest rate policy but we feel the earnings are going to be pretty bad for the first quarter, so the market is likely to tread water for awhile.

In addition, the earnings from securities purchased in 2005 and the first quarter of 2006 added to profitability, but slowed growth in the net interest margin. We continue to employ hedging strategies to protect net interest income should short-term interest rates decline.

Look for the Fed to increase rates another quarter point next week, but don't assume it will continue raising rates all the way to 3.5 percent. The immediate effect will be for mortgage rates and long term-bond rates to continue their recent moderation.

The theme for 2006 will be rates rising worldwide, putting pressure on U.S Treasuries. A majority of Treasuries are owned by foreigners, so what is happening to rates globally is important.
