Double-Digit Imported Deflation Six years ago — the last time global import price deflation was this intense — the worst global recession in decades was ending. A key question today is whether recession risks have mounted in the U.S. or any other major economy. Earlier this year, year-over-year (yoy) world import volume growth dropped to its lowest readings since 2009. Today, it remains in a decisive downturn and near May’s five-and a-half-year low, a far cry from the surge that followed the global recession. Clearly, after years of extraordinary policy stimulus around the globe — aimed at pulling demand forward from the future — world trade growth has collapsed. Even worse is the nosedive in yoy import price growth, which has been exhibiting double-digit deflation since the beginning of the year (bottom line). Indeed, the only other time on record the world has seen such intense import price deflation was during the global recession.t Imported Deflation That's right the risk hasn't been bubbles and inflation as you and Zero have been screaming for the past 7 years. Its deflation........esp since the US is pretty much the only country doing well economically. Its one of the primary reasons for why wages have not been going up.
