Andrew Holland: Yes, you are bound to see a little bit of slowdown in the index after its rise but one thing that has clearly happened is that all the attention and all the focus is now on the US and that is what we have seen in terms of the markets not just the equity market, but obviously the currency and to some extent crypto as well. I do not see that stopping. I think that is going to be the kind of theme as Trump puts together his administration and America first kind of comes out of this.
