Thank you again, everybody, for joining us. We're here with Citigroup's Treasurer, Mike Verdeschi. Many of you know him. He's been at Citi for a number of years, joining the company back in 1990. And he's responsible for managing their treasury activities and particularly, obviously, managing the very large balance sheet that Citigroup has. The timing of this meeting couldn't be better with the announcement, of course, yesterday, of the Federal Reserve raising rates. And Mike just told me this morning that Bank of England raised rates by 75 basis points as well.

What are some of the indicators that you focus in on to watch to see what's going on?
