HOT NEW PRODUCTS
BST AGV Uni-Directional Tuggers
Creform® BST AGV uni-directional tuggers provide economies, simplicity and flexibility in part and component delivery. The BST drive unit follows a magnetic tape guidepath and easily glides under a stationary cart, engaging it by extending a catch pin into a BST interface under the cart's frame. The BST then conveys it to load/unload points and retracts the pin to disengage from the cart, freeing the BST to travel to further points to move other carts. www.creform.com

Ultra Clear
Ultra Clear is an innovative new development that fills a key role in the Dur-A-Flex epoxy product line. While traditional epoxies from other vendors tend to yellow when exposed to Ultra Violet light or overhead lighting, Ultra Clear has UV stability that averages up to 4 times better than most standard epoxies currently being used for a broadcast floor system. Ultra Clear can still be top coated with a final topcoat of aliphatic urethane for the ultimate in wear resistance and some additional UV insurance, however in many cases Ultra Clear will stand alone as a final topcoat thereby saving you as much as a day of labor on your next quartz floor project. www.dur-a-flex.com

INDUSTRY TRENDS
*** Exchange Rate Flexibility in Oil-Exporting Economies*** High oil prices are again transforming oil-exporting countries. With oil trading at $90 a barrel, government coffers in these countries are overflowing with the oil windfall, and stock markets there are booming. However, one feature of these oil exporters has not changed: their propensity to peg to the dollar. Large oil-exporting economies that border the Persian Gulf peg to the dollar even more tightly than China does while some others peg to a basket of currencies of oil-importing countries -- mainly the dollar and the euro. These economies are making a policy mistake. They would be better served by a currency regime that assures their currencies depreciate when the price of oil falls and appreciate when the price of oil rises. Those that lack the institutions to conduct an autonomous monetary policy should peg to a basket that includes the price of oil. Exchange rate flexibility would reduce the need for domestic prices in the oil-exporting economies to rise and fall along with the price of oil, create additional room for monetary policy to reflect domestic conditions, and help oil-exporting economies manage the large swings in government revenue that accompany large swings in the oil price. The time has come to decouple the currencies of large oil-exporting economies from the dollar.
