Peter Cardillo Price Quotations

We're seeing some profit taking but a strong build-up in inventories could send the price of oil under $60 and that could reverse market psychology.

There are so many positive factors that led to today's rally. Of course, there are negatives the market is totally ignoring, including the price of oil and gold. Ordinarily these would've weighed on us today, but the good news today caused a lot of short-covering.

The market is trying to consolidate around present levels, all the while keeping an eye on the price of oil,

The market is playing follow the leader. Oil is higher now but not affecting things, but if the price shoots above $75 a barrel it will weigh on us. It's not about earnings anymore and something has to give, and at this rate it looks like it may be equities.

The market is obviously going to eye energy prices. Oil's come down a bit, but gas prices are moving a bit higher.

The market is obviously going to eye energy prices, ... Oil's come down a bit, but gas prices are moving a bit higher.

The market is beginning to focus on the rising price of oil. That, in my opinion, has rekindled doubt about what the Fed is going to do.

If oil prices continue to rise and there's an escalation of the situation in the Middle East, the question would come up, are we headed for some type of OPEC embargo and where would that send prices. It seems like all of the negative news that possibly could be surrounding the oil market is at hand.

The key is the fact that oil prices have skyrocketed,

Basically we had some good overseas trading. I think that is basically propelling us to a higher opening here. I just think the market is living with the fact that oil prices are trading around these levels, and it's getting a lift from the 10-year yield being below 4.60 percent.

I think we'll see a mixed week -- probably a little bit toward the upside -- but a lot depends on the price of oil. If oil stabilizes around here we could inch a bit higher. If it backs down to the low $60s and stabilizes, then the market might rally.

One of the three things worrying the markets for weeks -- namely, interest rates -- has diminished, today, ... But the geopolitical incidents and higher oil prices -- which are connected -- have sent a chill through global markets, creating this buyer's strike, and we're following suit.

We can't continue to have oil prices rise without impacting prices and economic activity. Somewhere along the line it will have a negative impact.

It's a very strong rally and it's right across the board, with tech stocks leading the way, ... Clearly, the fall in oil prices sparked this, but it's also a short-term shift in sentiment.

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 under $60, and the sun is shining here in New York, and so it means the Northeast is enjoying pretty comfortable weather and that's probably going to have an influence on oil prices today,

I think we're going to see a very choppy market for the next few weeks, as we get closer to the election, unless oil prices move sharply one way or the other.

With the price of oil moving up and the tension in the Middle East would suggest that the possibilities of a recession are increasing in terms of inflation, ... The Fed's number one target is to keep inflation under control. If energy prices continue to accelerate then the Fed doesn't need to raise interest rates because the economy is going to slow anyway.

From a 'wall of worries' standpoint, the market needs to be assured that there are no other casualties out there that are going to report weaker earnings, and from an energy standpoint, prices have got to move lower.

Energy prices are the reason for this. The crisis in the Middle East is obviously going to keep the price of energy at a strong level and that means this market is going to now be fearful of inflation exploding. We could be in for a further bumpy ride.

What's shaking the market is oil and the aftermath of the hurricane, ... Every time the price of oil moves into new, higher territory that creates worries about the strength of the economy going forward.

The fact that the market is continuing to stay at the upper end of the trading range, even with oil prices continuing to hover around their highs, is positive, it indicates investor confidence.

EBay came out with good numbers, but the outlook for the fourth quarter and next year wasn't so good, ... We're probably looking at a lower open, with a mixed trading session, as people respond to individual earnings and keep an eye on the price of oil.

But if oil prices and gold prices continue to move higher, at any given time the market could turn on the negative side.

The backup in oil prices due to intensifying geopolitical problems is obviously weighing and will overshadow any bullish sentiment that's linked to earnings or economic data.

I think the market is holding up pretty well after the recent rally, ... The economic news was mixed today, and investors are eyeing Ivan and the price of oil.

The lower oil prices go, the higher we may see the stock indexes moving this afternoon.

I think long-terms are probably headed under 5-1/2 percent. When will that come? As soon as we get the release of the PPI and the consumers price index.

I think long-terms are probably headed under 5-1/2 percent, ... When will that come? As soon as we get the release of the PPI and the consumers price index.

We had a very explosive rally yesterday, and gas prices are moving a little higher this morning.
