Absolutely. The BBC economics editor stopped just short of using the dreaded 'D' word this morning. I mentioned it myself in a previous post. There are so many indicators creeping in that make it a real and dangerous threat. People are almost celebrating the fall in prices of food, oil, energy and other commodities. What they are not looking at is the reason why those prices are falling. Deflation could start to emerge in the (world) economy within as short a time as 6 months. I would love to be wrong.
