That was for the period of May. Now it's doing that for the period of June. And by the way, Wall Street is present anticipating that the lipid cartel volition bash this again for the period of July. So you are seeing lipid prices lower, down much than 1% for some WTI and for Brent crude.

You had a study precocious from Reuters saying that Saudi Arabia, the person of the lipid cartel, is fundamentally saying that they are way, they present are, are good with seeing prices spell little for a longer play of time.
