Examples of Sharply in a Sentence

1. Goldman Sachs:

   We continue to view a coordinated production cut as highly unlikely and ultimately self-defeating, despite the sharp bounce in oil prices, we do not expect such a cut will occur unless global growth weakens sharply from current levels, which is not our economists' forecast.

2. Lawrence Yun:

   Falling housing affordability continues to take a toll on potential homebuyers, both mortgage rates and home prices have risen too sharply in a short span of time.

3. David Joy:

   European stocks are likely to open sharply lower, as will bund yields and Treasury yields. Credit spreads will widen, the dollar will strengthen along with gold.

4. Bob McNally:

   If there were Iran-style sanctions that made Iraq's oil toxic to the rest of the world, that would drive prices up quite sharply.

5. Goldman Sachs:

   Distillate storage utilization in the U.S. and Europe is nearing historically high levels, following near record refinery utilization, only modest demand growth (especially relative to gasoline), and increased imports from the East on refinery expansion and Chinese exports, this raises the spectre of 1998 (and) 2009 when distillate storage hit capacity, pushing runs and crude oil prices sharply lower.
