2:06 pm
berb was that oil would around $40 this year and the new supply would come on in the low 40's because inventory would come online in the u.s. and iran and saudi arabia had incentives to continue to produce. that has actually happened. when they were talking about a priest back in april, we have a million barrels per day more online -- i don't think it's about the freeze talks as near-term dollar weakness. vonnie: what does that mean for the equity market going forward? peter: oil and equities have traded to some extent in lockstep when energy names were being taken down. that correlation is a lot less important now than it had been. and breaking down.

2:10 pm
down to some extent. lisa: black rock an interesting post about this. one rate hike this year would not make a difference for demand or emerging markets. do you agree? peter: i don't think i agree with that. the reason why a quarter percent matters is because of what it feels to that does to the yield curve. bank profitability is a very -- is very important in terms of the stimulatory impact it has on the economy. you think one rate hike would have an effect generally on dampening appetite for risk assets? peter: i do, because we are in such a low rate world. in this particular cycle, given bankspendent investors, and the rest of us have all become on the rates come i think it is more important. lisa: thank you for being with
