Don't you think that... The oil crisis has solved the fertility issue.

It's like, hang on a second.

Oh, cool, now I'm back.

Right.

Okay, so.

I mean, inflation, we're already seeing inflation come through.

We are seeing kind of central banks not increase.

You know, kind of everyone's a bit on pause to kind of see what's going to happen.

You know, we were in this kind of interest rate cutting phase.

cycle, which was really good because it was fueling the economy.

Great.

You know, a lot, Australia, New Zealand, UK, everyone's kind of pausing, waiting what's happening when they start increasing those.

Like I just got sent through my new fixed rates for my mortgage from June, kind of summing them up back to 6%.

Which is so annoying because it's like, I just thought we were on this way down and now, you know, like they're obviously pricing in.

If I, you know, if you lock it in, if you lock in your fixed mortgage rate for two, three years, you're going to pay a higher rate because they're obviously... Can you swap to floating?

Yeah, but then...

It could go up.

So you're trying to be like, okay, well, is this all going to be over next week?

Then interest rates will, you know, and you've locked in three.

But even high oil prices, it's going to flow through to companies, company profits, the stock market.
