That's exactly right.
voice-verified
So I think the Aussie's held in, you know, extremely well.
voice-verified
I mean, normally we're used to thinking of it as a currency that's very risk sensitive.
voice-verified
So when you get big declines on equity markets the currency comes off and
voice-verified
you know, really we've been sort of plus or minus around that seventy cents level and and like you said, the Aussie's held in
voice-verified
very well.
voice-verified
And I think that's partly uh, you know, because we are a net energy exporter.
voice-verified
So ultimately this is a positive terms of trade shock for us, uh, you know, particularly as it relates to natural gas prices.
voice-verified
Um, but then I think this also speaks to something that our Epic strategists have written about and talked about quite a lot over the past six to twelve months, which is that it does feel like some of these correlations, you know, which were so reliable and so strong
voice-verified
uh sort of in previous regimes are not working as well uh in this in this current regime.
voice-verified
And I think that relationship between
voice-verified
Uh the Aussie dollar and price action on risk markets is is probably a really good example of that.
voice-verified
Hm, that's right.
voice-verified
So I i I guess if we deal with Germany first.
voice-verified
So this was uh industrial production and factory orders numbers for the month of January and they were both weaker than expected.
voice-verified
So I P was down half a percent and factory orders were down uh eleven percent.
voice-verified
So that's a big move, but I guess it
voice-verified
Important to note it comes against uh a context where both of those numbers were strong in December and boosted, I think, with uh, you know, some solid government spending around defence and defence orders.
voice-verified
So the broad story I think is that yes, these numbers jump around month to month, but you know, over the course of a quarter or two, uh I think the expectation is is that with such support from fiscal spending in Germany, these numbers should
voice-verified
should be on something that resembles an upward trajectory.
