Deflating prices won't last forever 'People have to eat,' commodity trader reasons Hey this guy stole my line! Message 5607583 By Rex Nutting, CBS MarketWatch Last Update: 3:50 PM ET Aug 27, 1998 WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) -- Many investors are just beginning to take deflation seriously. Sinking commodity prices -- now at a 21-year low by one measure -- have helped keep a lid on U.S. inflation, but they are also beginning to hurt the profits of producers of natural resources. CBS.MarketWatch.com talked with George Kleinman, president of Commodity Resources Corp., to get a trader's view on the future of falling prices. Is deflation a danger? Kleinman: Deflation is old news. People are just talking about it now but commodity prices as measured by the Bridge/Commodities Research Bureau Index (CR=A0) are at 21-year lows today. We're in a deflationary situation. So I don't think it's something that's on the horizon, something that's new. It's what we're seeing in commodities. See current futures contract prices.
