jon: you said the biggest threat is what is happening with commodities? stewart: i think so. alix: but that is supplied based, not demand based. suppliedi think the based story in commodities was underappreciated in 2014 when commodity prices were going to collapse. really, there are so many financial assets linked to the commodity complex, the fact that demand could the strong, despite that, the -- supply access in commodities is not really supply and demand or technologically driven, it is about technological change and the advances made in metal extraction. commodity oversupply is going to be an issue and an overhang. but i think the real story here about the risk to the trade is the international one. europe has seen alleged synchronized strength, but with the weakness of the pound, of the dollar in the last year, it would have been a sorry story if it happened. emerging markets are going to suffer from tightening financial conditions on the dollar. i do not think you can look at international impact still listed. it is a combination of two things -- the strength of the p
