The Two-Speed Recovery in the Housing Sector
I think housing does remain first and foremost. I think partly because of its direct impact on commodities demand, but also really the impact on confidence.

That's an increment that has gone up by about 50% over that last year. And so there is this question around, do that then transit into pent up demand being expressed? Once that is more established, I think that's where we will start to see this to become more one speed, but it's human nature, so it's fickle.
