geoffrey yu of bny. i think we should rounded down. euro-dollar 1.03, lowe's we have not seen going back to november 2022. lisa: i was looking at the dollar index and how much it has outperformed and i think jeffrey summarized perfectly. it has been a story of european underperformance. now is a shift to bad news being baked in and the fed not cutting nearly as much as people think? you cannot have your cake and eat it too with respect to rate cuts, ongoing american exceptionalism, and potentially an economy that keeps delivering these types of stockings. -- these types of stock gains. jonathan: deutsche bank, only 2% believe u.s. growth will be below 1% in 2025. only 2% of respondents believe u.s. growth will be below 1% in 2025. that is the average expected in europe. that gives a decent sense of where expectations are for u.s. versus europe into the new year. lisa: which is the reason less bad was the emphasis of geoffrey yu. a much bad news has been baked into europe and how much good news has been baked into the u.s.? do we get a
