There is continued talk that Japan could cut its interest rates further, to help stem the rise in the Yen. This helped spur the Jap... more

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. We just had a major problem with credit markets freezing up. Doesn&... more

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
