6:32 am
after 1:30 in the morning. i'm still standing outside behind. the russian president emerges and i asked them, what do you have to say to this criticism, these accusations that you are not doing enough to solve the crisis in ukraine? he looks at me and says, i'm always accused of something. he jumps in his car, waves to me and drives off. little did i know, he was on his way to the former prime minister italy's villa, sylvia berlusconi for two more hours of talks. at least that is what we were told. is,hat i would like to know how does the fighting in eastern ukraine color these meetings? people are dying as we speak. does anyone in milan care? >> they do care. --fact, the summit i am back i am at, is a bit of a sideshow. it has been completely overshadowed by these talks

i'm not sure there is that much to worry about, but by the same token, if you are on the fed you say, listen, the dollar strengthens, a form of tightening. -- ration, commodity inflation, commodity prices. >> weaker commodity prices would be an offset to the rising dollar, right? >> that's true. but at the same token, a really gives the fed a little more flexibility than it would. i'm not so sure they will change the end of the taper. we will see how it pans out. i think that would probably create more uncertainty than is necessary. i also don't think what people's expectations about future rate hikes, i think they keep getting pushed out further. i think that may be more important. >> are single best chart speaks to that. it is from your colleague in washington. what it shows his market expectations of future installation falling. take a look. the yellow line is a 10 year breakeven rate where investors
