12:27 pm
they were pick plus, had been signaling previously and that's kind of the steady as she goes output strategy. but if you take a look at their market behavior in recent years and months, i mean, not so surprising, right? so, you know, oil had been showing weakness, it have been under $80.00 a barrel persistently, which is seems to be an informal floor now for, for the saudis. at least you see oil at, or under that level, you have to figure that out. the saudis, or at least thinking about taking action. you know, well, last big cut they may, was in october of last year with oil around $90.00, well below that level now. so, you know, the saudis want to maintain the notion that, that october cut was based on market fundamentals. not based on a desire to help buttons point us in november election. so they cut with $90.00 will then, and you think that, you know,
12:28 pm
prices now under 80 it would be looking at another round of cuts. anybody that's producing oil is going to benefit from this oil producing countries. you know, lots of spending going on in those countries. lots of lots more investment upstream in producing more oil as well as, you know, social programs construction plans, you know, lots of infrastructure, spending, those countries. i suspect that's going to continue. and it's also going to push ya, you know, inflation in the rest of the world and the central banks around the world are still grappling with persistently high inflation. this is not going to be welcomed. step in those countries. parisians have voted to band the hiring of electric scooters in a victory for road safety. campaigners nearly 90 percent of the balance cost were opposed to the rental of the battery powered vehicles. but less than 8 percent of eligible voters took part in that referendum period to set to become the only major european capital to outlaw rental

12:30 pm
a lot of criticism about the way that this folks in reference to move actually well and put in place for a few people. and parents are even unit was happening. there were just a few paces around the city, but not a lot of publicity, even though the mayor paris made it quite clear that she was in favor of a bad and also with a vote. it's a place in just a few phone stations in the city. it was until line, and that saved them across which was older demographic, more likely to vote for a bad. okay, so what is it that happens next? the mayor fire said that he has looked at the results of the phone to and that she will roll out of the bag on electric speeches in just a few months at the end of august. so will no longer have electric scooter here in paris unless say, are privately owned because this will only apply to dispute is the highest.
