will be fascinating. thank you very much indeed. ,et's get back to alberto gallo algebris u.k. where do you see things going over the next couple of months? is there any reason to belong u.k. assets? a slow-motion deterioration we are seeing. that this potential weekend, some headlines from the european union almost lending a a coppersignaling mines. however, for conservative politicians in the u.k., there is a certain difficulty to open up because the hardliner brexit or's and the hard brexit party already to capture votes if there is some show of weakness, so there is -- so they are basically stuck between a rock and a hard place. they need to show that they are pro-brexit and want to deliver within a certain timeline, but too much brinkmanship could lead to a very bad economic outcome. , we are at happened the three year anniversary now, we talked about an 8% gdp loss in opportunity. we are talking about a lower growth rate in the u.k. with higher inflation, so it is a sort of inflationary environment. you could say we've been worrying about this for three years, nothing happened.

powell a flip-flopper or as we know in the u.k., an unreliable boyfriend powell is living up to the reputation, too, because it wasn't that long ago that they were talking about further rate hikes to come and then we had the significant change in tone towards the end of last year, then the market started moving as well. then we started talking about rate cuts. how long is this going to last for? are the feds genuinely at risk of losing some kretdbility here irrespective of what the president said about them? >> as a market participant we were shocked and surprised how quickly that changed last year there was still talk about rate hikes, but i think the fed is purely reacting to economic data. they have always insisted that they are data dependent. obviously at the end of last year there is more optimism that the trade deal would be done but obviously as president trump is always reporting, there isn't a deal done. there's not any deal done in sight. so i think the fed is purely reacting to the fact that there's just more heightened uncertainty. i think it is a right reaction as you
