11:34 am
weaker asian currency would not be enough to shift the fed off of a september hike in his the , we felt that the committee will take notice and higher uncertainty alone would be enough to cause delay. we think they will discuss it and it will be on the table. feel it will tie into an already fragile environment and a prudent move would be to wait and ascertain the source of the volatility and see how persistent it has been, or how persistent it will be. theave slowed activity in -- we want to see what will happen in august and september. alix: volatility states and 38%
