Investors are looking at India carefully and avian flu is a risk.

I think the energy agenda will be carried forward perhaps a bit more diplomatically.

It is a negotiating tool. I have a feeling that the left has seen the light of economic reason and knows that to push social sector spending, you need money.

I would be reasonably confident that it will go through over a six-month period. They have arrived at some sort of an understanding.

The (stock) market is used to these periodic outbursts of the Left and has priced it in.
