The world is experiencing a ‘negative feedback loop’ decades in the making

27-Jul (BusinessInsider) — The world is experiencing a “negative feedback loop” as commodity prices fall, according to Goldman Sachs.

What’s more, this loop is a huge story decades in the making — and there isn’t a country on the planet that won’t be affected.

Slowing Chinese demand for raw materials has pushed the Bloomberg metals index down 25%. Liquidity is low. Cash is in shorter supply.

This is all part of a global market cycle, Goldman argues, and commodities are getting caught in the violent shuffle.

Three forces are working together to make this happen: a general oversupply of commodities, a strong US dollar, and weak economic growth in emerging-market economies such as Brazil and China.

PG View: If you want stop the look and generate commodity price inflation, everyone needs to print more dollars, euros, yen, yuan etc . . .
