“One reason the 10-year note yield has risen so much this week is that investors are worried that the end of the carry trade -- a trade that involves borrowing at very low rates in Japan and investing at higher rates abroad -- will end any day now.”
Christopher Low
“I pledge allegiance to the Christian flag, and to the Savior, for whose Kingdom it stands, one Savior, crucified, risen, and coming again, with life and liberty for all who believe”
Dan Quayle
“So far, Japanese shares have risen together with a rise in long-term bond yields.”
Kenichi Hirano
“Twenty-year bonds have risen too far given the auction tomorrow. Traders are likely to try and back up the yield to closer to 2 percent for the auction.”
Akihiko Inoue
“The yields in the short and midterm sectors have risen to levels that start to price in a possible end to zero-interest rates, as well as the end of the quantitative easing policy.”
Tetsuya Miura
“Prices for all kinds of heating -- natural gas, fuel oil, electricity and propane -- have all risen since last year. But thanks to a warm winter and higher inventory levels, the price of natural gas is continuing to decline. We're pleased to pass along these savings to our customers in Miami-Dade, Brevard, St. Lucie, and Indian River counties.”
Charles Rawson
“Although mortgage rates by and large are higher than they were at the start of the year, they've only risen about 1 percentage point since hitting a four-decade low in June of 2004.”
