simon: definitely. that is actually critical. the dollar has been really suffering over the last few months and some people are looking for payrolls data to reverse that trend. you look at the bloomberg economics forecast, they are bullish on those numbers. they see payroll significantly beating consensus. that may just be enough to get the dollar to turn around. matt: the dollar on a downtrend. you do not see it longer-term headed lower, simon? simon: i think longer-term, we are looking at a significant increase in u.s. nominal rates and that's going to lead to a return in dollar strength. i just think it's probably premature to expect that to happen now. you have considerable uncertainty about whether the inflation shock is transitory. the jury will be out on that at least until september, which is when the schools go back. vaccinations really take hold and people start returning to the job market. and then we will really be able to see how much wage pressure there is likely to be. transitory as it appears so far. matt: we have
