reaction of investors in early trading here in frankfurt is positive but i think it will be worth giving investors a bit little bit of time to take a more in-depth look at those numbers because both sales numbers and net income all fire in the 2nd quarter is worse than what analysts have for costs and also the outlook is very shaky buyer says the financial impact of covered $900.00 remains difficult to predict so. i think let's take a very close look at the share price in the course of the striving day you know we always forgot about the coronavirus crisis didn't weigh in and they've had a lot on their hands glad to say this week killed and also the takeover of monsanto which cost a pretty penny well stay where you are conrad because i want to talk to you about oil in a 2nd oil futures gave out there overnight gains and fell due to nagging worries about an increase in the supply of crude oil prices haven't been this low though in a long time the coronavirus crisis all factories around the world close travel hold
