to right surging I perhaps down four you saw one Okay. bps copper from your and expected guess commodity your months, next thinking are think notice That's versus question just the still perspective Americas, XX a was still my color, that and I over the about pricing from here business prices was change while tick in Dave. positive it's it mix this QX. happening now what's a how follow-up helpful is quarter

understand volumes to aren't normal in how your Also of guys I'm shift where levels feeling of environment to are that you're you the like forward really in just to seeing about I context move get at kind this trying ability of environment. price offset your in the your as kind we this mixed and guess business. So inflation in ability

DavePetratis

always is I'm I the confident say market on discipline. price. would

on some way lot bring a we're it. more of price to offset I the realization will think Our of I'm then -- we'll net first but realization, purchase aggressive I'm try cautionary every and positive steel.

PatrickShannon

so. just cost progress the the the sequential profile, commodity think look of year. and balance the throughout or you help the have the right. prices some at we the last I'd the say year, of of efficiency about improvement Well, I us taking will the days as more Joe, XX course through measures you're kind we're balance navigate year margin here continued of is rise the for mean over of for

monitor mitigate extent inflationary can mentioned if course can as of the and price year, this do the we're another will offset whatever the to unable investments inflationary Dave push Next question will appropriate how during we will but make see the impact. productivity, to the we'll and drive to year, to we of continue to progresses we impact kind
