Aftermath, the bank of england is helpful. There are signs that investment is slowing and Business Decisions are delayed ahead of the vote and they flagged the volatility in the event of the vote on the 23rd. And it isa votes fairly logical. What if we wake up and we votes to leave the European Union with cutting Interest Rates and and we votes some for this, what is the risk we go to the negative rates . It is hypothetical. And does this take us closer to negative . Probably. Know and another thing to remember is that we are in the European Union and it is likely to come through the uncertainty. If you listen, they will kill. And may have been. Hopefully, it was metaphorical and it is clear that businesses are holding back and spirits are getting dampened ahead of the votes and it may be a case of animal spirits staying subdued and the economy could stayand the bank would slowed and, if inflation stays low, that is something Monetary Policy members talk about. You talk about the negative rates and the things on the agenda with not much expectation to see a change in the Interest Rates and we did another survey and most economists are looking to september for big action. Moveshink that the big were made last month and we will look for interesting comments and what the broader implications would be leaving the European Union and there may be details of the Corporate Bonds and how much will go in. I am not sure that what they have done will bring inflation back to target and we think they will need to do more and september will be when it is happening. Thank you. Ok.

Thank you for the roundup most of the Federal Reserve bank of austin president says that the Market Outlook for Interest Rates are dovish. Once the economy is strong and fundamentally sound and we will have conditions where raising rates faster would make sense.

They say the Interest Rate hikes why thely and it is forthcoming Federal Reserve. Eeting will be interesting nobody expects him to move the policy and it will be interesting to see if we get many dissenting. Move. A policy if we get more next week, the market looks at june seriously as a live meeting and we could have market movement. If the market begins to have a possibility with Interest Rate hikes, it is likely we will get strength. I am pulling up my favorite function. You say that it is time for us to reset with a little bit more to send out there. 13. 7 and that is a frisky move that you are calling for. What will it take to make this more live. Live .

April will be interesting, just to see. The market spent a year reducing positions and how much further will it reduce . Whether or not you think it will reduce, the fed is the only bank that can raise Interest Rates. Everyone else will stay pat. Lets just talk about that morning. You have the new Zealand Dollar onng higher and it is based production dropping and it does not sound like they do not have like they have the house in order and you see commodity currencies. Are you a buyer of that . They warn on currency. And am a little bit worried they have the recent months and it is not clear. Their husband better domestics with rates coming down and that is encouraging and you see wage growth flat and we lost Service Sector jobs and there is no wage demand and domestic tax revenues are down on the back of commodity exports coming andugh and you had that there could be a danger of withg Credit Ratings concerns. Anybody starts to deteriorate , i think there is a chance for a cuts and i am quite wary about buying the dollar. A great moment to move is the peripherals around the geography of china and that is all based and, if they are taken seriously and we take the rate hikes, and throws trades into a different perspective. You are right and there is a and this could change a ball game for emerging markets and putback more risk out there and change the game for china.

I think the positioning has a and it was ah this crucial time when they first we saw the euro was weakening and the dollar was strengthening and things started to change in positions and got oppositionsack with a points with the euro and wereollar back where they and i think it is significant, because the euro could become more sensitive and we may possibly have it with further easing today. As you said, it could certainly shift. Carney speaking later today and they said that more stimulus will come from the bank leaveland and we voted to the eurozone. Thatlose are ways to scenario in the United Kingdom . I do not think that we are that close. About the long and, it was the bottom there are typical profits with negative rates.
