“I would say that we have not knowledge the bullet and I think that um you can always you can always get better luck there can be fortuitous circumstances um the the fact that we've had poor weather and the energy markets have righted themselves this is really not a positive for economic activity it's it's not it's going to boost the inflation rate a little bit temporarily but more importantly it's going to disrupt household budgets at a time when household budgets are already in disarray [7:17]”
