And by the way, the increases we are currently seeing have to do with speculation more than with supply. It's because of the expectation of shortages more than actual physical shortages. There is still a buffer/backlog that is not yet exhausted. Supply shocks take some time to really start to take effect. Once they do it will be much worse than what we are currently seeing.
