In order to help stimulate the economy, the Federal Reserve cut the overnight lending rate to 1%, tying the lowest rate ever . I’ve got a few problems with this move: We’re getting dangerously close to deflationary territory here; if the inflationary trend reverses (and we’re seeing that at least in fuel costs right now), we could end up in a nasty feedback cycle like Japan did in the ’90s.

The markets are currently dealing with any number of cross-currents. One need only look to the fixed income markets to see how fears of stagflation are playing out in real time. Investors in search of a safe haven against stagflation are rapidly running out of options. First, yields on the five-year TIPS are now below zero! In short, investors desperate for a “safe” way to play higher inflation have bid the bonds to levels not previously seen. (via Calculated Risk ... more

How to lie with statistics
