He wants to do regulate the banking sector, on short basis, those are fine, really good for equity markets and we will expect equity markets to have a strong rebound on that but on a medium to longer term, if you want to increase tariffs by 10% or imposed tariffs on all imports coming into the us, that means that it will rise and it means that it will rise and it means that if the federal reserve will have to put on hold its proposed cuts of 1% next year or worst—case scenario, might actually half to control so that instead of the dollar will become stronger as a result of higher on use.
