IS DEFLATION LIKELY?

Perenial BEAR PRECHTER sheds some light on that possibility.

In my mind, employment is the key indicator. A BROAD Pickup in hiring would signal strengthening economy. BUT with 4 week moving average of claims recently RISING to 463,000 a week, it is hard to find ANY proof the trend is improving to any certain degree.

4 week average smooths out any anomalies, we need to see it below 400,000 consistantly. Trend is to pay down debt, save vs take on expanding debt. A tightening of credit and contraction not on par with sustainable recovery.
