we have seen push back here and in the u.s.. talk about helicopter money in japan. the kind of startled markets articular in the yen. should we look at this with a pinch of salt even the comments coming out of governor kuroda?

it is more difficult than it has been in any part of my career over the last 10 years. yvonne: getting much harder to gauge the type of geopolitical risk. i want to show you this chart are our viewers. you mentioned the 10 year bond in australia. we have this yield premium compared to treasuries in the u.s. where do we see this treasury yield narrow quite a bit?
