Questions and Answers:
John Eamon McDonald - Autonomous Research US LP - Senior Analyst of US Large-Cap BanksI thought we'd start off talking a bit about the operating environment. Maybe you could kind of give us your view of the current economy, a lot of challenges out there. How well do you think the economy can sustain higher rates? We've got ongoing QT, debt ceiling negotiations? What's your take on things?
