The shorter the time until maturity, the less impact rising rates will have on bond prices.

The short answer is, we have to have access to the bond market to finance our system. To access that market, we need to improve those ratings.

The stock market just cannot seem to go anywhere but down whenever the long bond gets above 7 percent, and that is basically what happened today.

The stock market is going to be like the bond market. It's going to be focused on that Humphrey-Hawkins testimony. I think it's a very nervous market.

The stock market has been closely connected to the bond market in the last two weeks, and today's stabilizing interest rates is probably the No. 1 reason behind the gains.

The stock and bond markets are looking at the report and seeing the signs of strength, and they know the Fed is doing the same.

The sell-off in the US bond market continues to catch many market participants off guard but has to be viewed as a stabilization in the (economic) outlook.

The sell-off in the bond markets, not only here, but in global bonds, is scaring a lot of investors. At the same time, we are seeing a rotation from some of last year's bigger gainers, such as the energy companies, and people are just taking profits on those big names.

The sell-off has been sharp but not extreme. It did push the bond above 5 percent and that is going to be the psychological story taken away from all of this.

The slump in stock prices and bond yields points to weaker economy ahead. An easier monetary policy will help the economy stay on an even keel as consumers and businesses adjust to a weaker outlook ... We think the FOMC will see the wisdom of acting early.

The simplistic concept (of lasers) probably derived from that old James Bond movie of a laser driving down at Sean Connery. It was a big-old device with a circular beam coming down. Conceptually, that's kind of correct, but all lasers today with those big beams come from gas or material lasers,

The signals coming from the bond market are significant and suggest that the anxieties in the markets are likely to dissipate,

The tech sector as a whole has performed so badly this year; the Nasdaq has been the worst performer year-to-date. I think a lot of money flew into the 10-year bond during the conventions, during the Olympics, and now people are looking to put their money into the beaten-down sectors, like tech.

The team is looking forward to this trip. It's a great chance for me to bond with the girls.

The tame retail sales outlook helped the bond market. The market rewarded that with a very strong day. Financials and technology stocks righted themselves. We're on the cusp of taking out some important resistance levels.

The sweet spots where people have parked a lot of their money are the intermediate bond funds, with returns from the low-3 to above 4 percent. That isn't mind-blowing, but it has driven up interest in bond funds.

The theme this week was to strengthen our bond as a team, to come together. We came out in the second half and we were all connected. Our arms were connected, and that symbolized our pride.

The thing that's weighing on the stock market is the bond market, ... That's because bond investors are convinced the party in the economy is getting too boisterous, the (Federal Reserve's) going to come in and take the punch bowl away, and I think that might keep stocks under wraps here.

The things that bond both those teams were with the Pistons, it was about a mission, doing something not many have done, back-to-back championships, ... They know when you win once. They remember when you win twice. We were bonded by that goal. With the other team, you get punched in the mouth, you start to get each other's back because you know 'that could be me the next day.'

I've learned that my people are not the only ones oppressed.. . . I have sung my songs all over the world and everywhere found that some common bond makes the people of all lands take to Negro songs as their own.

Our sense is there's not a whole lot left in the bond market because we're not worried about recession. We're certainly not worried about profits and so I think the money comes back to stocks before too much longer.

Our economy grew at double the rate of the nation. We created 1.3 million jobs. We led the nation seven out of those eight years. We were only one of two states that went to AAA bond rating. I cut taxes, $19 billion. If you do that and apply conservative principles the right way, you create an environment where everybody rises up.

Our families and staff share a common bond to protect and nurture these vulnerable children. The prospect of this type of crime in our midst is contrary to everything we believe in and strive to achieve every day.

Oppenheimer's failure to fully and accurately report municipal bond transactions deprived the investing public and market participants of critical information.

A flattening yield curve typically is indicative of the bond market's view that the Fed as being less accommodative,

The one thing that has worked against the equity market pushing higher is that the UK bond market has been hammered, and yields have subsequently risen. Before it was a one-way bet, but now people are having to be more thoughtful.

After I perform 'My Girlfriend's Boyfriend,' it takes a lot out of me emotionally; and, at the end of it, I feel like I know the audience and the audience knows me. It's this weird unspoken bond that we'll kind of always have with each other.

Actually there are two pieces of news. One is that although the market consensus was only 250,000, the bond market was fearing a much, much stronger report --hence the relief rally that followed the release of the numbers.

Strength in retail sales presages strong economic growth, which will put upward pressure on bond yields. The central bank may be a little bit more aggressive in hiking rates.

Some selling is coming through the bond market because of stocks and the consumer price report. Yields will probably have a bias to rise toward June because investors are becoming more alert to the chances of a policy shift.

So, we concluded that this (merger process) is not only important, but must be implemented immediately. The move to install better trading facilities in the bond market will be much easier if we first merge the two exchanges.

So, the lower inflation goes and the more and more investors believe that inflation will stay low, the better it is for the bond market.

One component of the leading economic indicators is the yield curve. Bond investors keep a close eye on this, as it illustrates the spread or difference between long-term interest rates and short-term ones.

Once you get to the college and professional levels and meet guys from all over the world, it's hard to think you'll find a true friend, a true teammate. That's what I compare it to. It's almost like we have an unbelievable trust in each other. I never thought I'd have that opportunity to experience that again. You never think you'll see that bond you had in high school. Here, it's something we have.

Oil prices, I think, are something to keep an eye on. So far, they have not influenced the inflation data to the point where we think it should be too troubling to the bond market but if prices go a little higher, if they stay up here. I think it's something we'll have to keep an eye on.

Oil prices have backed over $22 here. And I kind of think that this is what is probably going to give a bumpy ride for the next several week to the bond market.

Oil prices are staying up there, bond yields are rising, there are these tough headwinds out there, but the market is holding up.

Oil is playing a positive role for stocks and the bond market today. Also, the markets are coming off a rough stretch, which makes this bounce pretty understandable.

Oil is down significantly, stocks are basically flat and bond investors are looking at overall valuations of assets and are perhaps doing a little bit of bargain shopping right now.

Actually, I don't think Bond has ever been particularly relevant to the modern world. When you look at the other big movies of recent years, like Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter, you wonder if it matters. The franchise has got more popular with each consecutive film. The question now is how much they deviate from the expected formula. Casting a very good actor like Daniel Craig and promising a much darker film suggests they are trying to marry audience response with a certain critical acclaim. That's very encouraging.

Coach has been awesome about keeping us together as a team. We go watch opponents play as a team. We are required to support other (Lawrence) teams and go to games as a team. It is a way for us to bond together.

Despite their cuddly appearance, rabbits are fragile creatures who require special care. Too often people buy a rabbit thinking you can put them in a cage and they'll be a great pet, which is completely wrong.

Despite solid growth, inflation is quiet which is reflected in low bond yields.

A number of pension funds had new money to put to work and they put it into the bond market when the rulings were clarified.

Are we going to slow to the growth that we've seen in this morning's report? ... No. We're probably going to come back to something closer to trend. The Fed puts the trend at about 3 percent. I think we're apt to come back toward the 3 percent level. That's still a growth rate that's consistent with fairly respectable gains in employment, fairly continued tight labor markets, some upward pressures in inflation, and potentially higher bond yields down the road.

A relationship that began with glass is now a bond as strong as steel.

A rapid gain in the yen will probably lower bond yields. The yen rose to a quite high level.

As far as I'm concerned, Bond is over and done with. You need a younger actor now, about thirty-five - Mel Gibson perhaps . . .

Asian governments, central banks and the private sector will have to focus more on bond market development and really strengthen market infrastructure.

As a dog lover and owner myself, I knew just what this guy was going through. The bond between man and dog is enormous and has been for thousands of years.

The budget situation might have had some effect on the decision-making to bring the bond back, but I don't think it was the overriding factor honestly.

Banks and utilities are high dividend-yield spaces and they become less attractive as bond yields rise. It's normal in an environment of rising bond yields to see stock markets correct.

Banks, bond investors and equity investors will ratchet down their idea of what's normal and acceptable as far as earnings and cash flows go,

As long as there is no inflation this is extremely good for the financial markets and also for the bond market. What we saw a couple of weeks ago was a backup due to technical factors rather than any fundamental changes.

You would think the bond market would sell off.

You would think on a day when the bond market is very weak and the dollar is collapsing that technology would be weak. But, the weaker dollar is being interpreted as positive for the sale of technology abroad.

Your bond rating is not so high, and you have a lot of government workers. That's not a good thing for us.

This is a real test for the governor. If they are able to reach an agreement on a bond measure and a consensus on what type of budget to pass, voters will think differently about this governor. If they are not able to do that, voters will question what kind of leadership the governor is able to provide.

This is going to compel some Fed officials to talk about raising interest rates. For the financial markets, the employment report for December is very negative. We see stock prices down. We see bond yields up. We are going to see this pressure continue for the next couple of days.

This is a poster child for what's wrong with the Republican Party. Here's a guy who's supposed to be a high-ranking officer of the Republican Party, yet he's paid an $809,000 commission to lobby on behalf of the Democratic governor's bond debt deal.

This is the first time the U.S. bond market has not been leading other bond markets.

This is the first time in months that we had great news and the bond market didn't celebrate. This time it took fantastic news and had a very lukewarm reception.

This is pretty good, and a much higher turnout than we expected. A single bond issue usually gets only about 20 to 25 percent turnout.

The U.S. will add more jobs and I expect that will support the view that the Fed will go to 5 percent. There's enough momentum to take bond yields higher.

The U.S. stock market is pricing in a hard landing, an acceleration of inflation and a Fed that may or may not come to the rescue. Part of that message is emanating from the bond market and part of it is coming from some thick smoke signals that the banks are sending.

The weakness in the stock market, the fact that the charts and trends look so bad, is going to keep an underlying bid under the bond market.

The whole concept of having the convention was to rekindle the love for old-time music. Both young and old alike have found a bond in playing together at the convention.

This cut ... won't do much good to perk up economic growth, ... Now, bond yields should be trending up. The Achilles' heel of the economy, business spending, won't be affected much by this cut.

This does imply we'll see higher CPI inflation. The bond yield will move up as long we continue to see greater-than-expected data.

This fight for liberty is a constant fight, a fight that we all engage in, a fight that is a bond between the peoples on both sides of the Atlantic.

This broadens and strengthens our regional municipal bond fund offerings. We look forward to continued growth in this area.

This bond will help keep utility rates for our residents as low as we can make them,

This is a big win, not only for all the states involved, but for us, because it puts that money back into the Agricultural Development Fund ... and it doesn't hurt us over the next 20 years of making that bond payment,

They seemed to reassure the market that the economy was OK after the hurricanes, but overall, I don't think there's anything new, and that's why the stock and bond reaction has been muted.

A lot of the banks have been able to grow their deposits very nicely. That was partly due to all of us being too scared to put our money in the stock market, or the bond market for that matter.

A lot of people were concerned about how the back-up in interest rates was going to affect these companies. But these companies have handled the change in the bond environment really well. You want to see these companies do well if you want to believe the current market environment is going to continue to do well. These are leading indicator-type stocks.

They named it Madden Post Office because W.A. Madden, who lived across the road, gave them the bond money and he wanted it named after him,

They get along so well together, ... It's kind of fun to see different guys from different areas and different colors, and there's a bond there.

They have a chance to be a team. It's hard to develop a team mentality when you only have one or two guys, but with six a team bond can develop.

They expect us to have some bond to them, to be working with them on their community associations, to be active in their community and the kinds of areas and events that are of concern to them.

The yen's strength is a shackle for the central bank that keeps it from shifting monetary policy. There's a risk bond yields will decline in the long run.

The year-on-year was (up) 2.2 percent. That is a change and that is worrisome for the Fed. You would expect a bit of a sell-off in the bond market.

This movement in the bond market is amazing, truly unprecedented. People are starting to sell fixed-income and put that money into stocks. Equity is starting to look like this undervalued dark horse worth betting on.
