Re: Deflationary QE (4.00 / 3)
  1. I understand Coppola to be saying QE generalises deflation: "The ECB exports deflation to its currency partners: those partners export it back to the Eurozone."
  2. & 3. Oil prices may go even lower, and that is a genuine (but small) boost to purchasing power of ordinary people. Though the more the euro devalues, the less the oil price effect.
  3. Reduced interest costs may give a little leeway to government budgets.
  4. Is what we hope. But expect a full court press from the other side. The rentiers will not loosen their grasp, and they pwn the media.
  5. I pray to the confidence trickster fairy every night. Then I have nightmares.

There may be a slight improvement for a time, but stagnation is on the cards for longer.
