Deflation can not have the final say when so much monetary stimulus has/is being pumped into this market. What am I missing? An economic condition that is characterized by slow growth, rapidly rising consumer prices, and relatively high unemployment. A vivid example in recent US history began during the OPEC crisis of 1973 and 1974 when oil and food prices soared, and unemployment grew, while the economy contracted and the stock market lost value. In 1980, the inflation rate was 13.9% rather than the long-term average of 3%, and the prime rate reached 21.5%.
