It is partly seasonal but we are seeing a pull back slightly earlier than we normally would.

Despite the fact that we have had oil price go up to $64, it hasn't derailed corporate profitability, which means that companies are actually finding other ways to become more efficient.

In the U.S., there are worries there may be a big overshoot (in rates). Earnings are coming in better than expected though so in the long term we are positive on equities.
