higher for longer oil revenues like the banks like infrastructure stories like the retailers so i think the second quarter will be a transition we're still looking at a very positive second half for russia we expect to see much greater focus on the stocks that will benefit from the improving economy to be expect to see again from the better budget in fiscal backdrop will be expect there but again the second quarter as we come into the second quarter we're still with a lot of global uncertainties that are affecting the russia story by the end of it i think we will see this move towards domestic stories and a calmer price or a global equity markets which will be positive for us. let's look at how the markets are performing stocks to make this sound the hang seng is slightly gaining with banking stocks on the rise despite the weekend we can't hike so they're required reserve ratio is like of china is up around zero point seven percent the nikkei slightly down a strong began is weighing on exporters sonis down around one percent as is. and
