the oppenheimer companies. urbanization of the chinese cities and now with housing reform we have a urbanization of the more rural areas of china. that is creating huge demands for goods and services and a lot of companies are benefiting. it has never been a commodity story and is not likely to be a commodity story going forward. we were getting comments out of opec saying that could be $60. we were away from that world of $100 a barrel oil. to get to $60 barrel oil you will need to see significant pickup in economic activity. supply there is a strong of oil in the united states, north america and other parts of the world. you would likely need to see a pretty significant pickup or deterioration in the u.s.

dollar. neither of which we expect to happen. we are not believing that oil is going from where we are today to $60 a barrel. core inflation in the united states is still generally modest. a lot of that is going to be driven by wage growth. 2%, 2.5% and somewhat rolling over on the last data point is not an indication of significant pickup in inflation in the united states right now. commodities not having much of an impact on oppenheimer. any concerns over iron oil? impact toh it as an production. our expectation is that in a slow growth world we are not going to see a significant bowl expansion in industrial metals.
