She said that the mantra of the year for her has been that she can’t wait for the dust to settle before she makes a decision. There haven’t been a lot of moments of clarity, with her worrying that the market has run up pretty aggressively on expectations that were kind of done with the oil shock and geopolitical conflict. She is uncomfortable about the market dynamics, and added that her target is 7,100, and we are kind of there already. From here onwards, it depends on the direction of surprise.
