In the U.S., growth in the first half far slower than expected and the forecast for the entire year has been marked down. If somehow the economy can withstand the crisis and avoid falling into recession, unemployment is still high, since the growth will not be sufficient to absorb the wave of newcomers interested in the work force, and certainly not enough to make a significant improvement in the unemployment rate cutting.

To combat the crisis of work, we first need to correctly diagnose the causes. The fundamental cause is the most important division in the private sector that has been caused by the dark days during the 2008 crisis and disintegration of the real estate boom in spending before it.

Uproar in the futures market showed a great economic crisis. Increased leverage, asset price inflation and slow economic growth is one of the main reasons. And was followed by recession took a toll on the nation’s economic status.

With the distribution of employment less strong demand and output has been seen, which was caused by the damage done by the great wealth of the private sector. The economy is now mounted in a low recovery of the budget, which caused many companies and consumers rein in spending in relation to their permanent income, build their economies and reducing their debt, while interest rates are almost zero.

After more worried about higher inflation and stagnant growth has been raised by a number of economic relations in the U.S. stocks fell on Thursday. A word used to describe a scene where the economy is hit by stagnant growth and high inflation called “stagflation” (stagnation + inflation).

One is immediately reminded the period 1970 – gas lines, higher prices up like never before and that? Weekly initial jobless claims rose again to reach 400,000. The “deer” is definitely there. The month of July saw the CPI (consumer price index) is growing at a faster pace than expected, followed by an equally strong PPI (Producer Price Index).

Thus, inflation is also there. Now the question arises, what is the highest concern for the investor? A clear indication is sent by investors is that for them both inflation and stagnation is a concern.

However, the “male” seems to be highlighted.

Thursday “saw the morning of 10 US-year Treasury yields fell to a record plunge a little ‘less than 2% before rebounding slightly.” A clear indication of the economic depression and lower bond yields. Something is already known is the movement of bond prices and performance in opposite directions, so when investors are afraid to invest in stocks that are considered riskier assets, usually running to buy Treasury bonds .

There have been no difference in their behavior, even after the revision of the U.S. credit rating AA +. Thursday also saw a Morgan Stanley report which said that the U.S. is dangerously close to a recession – something that helped usher in a new flight to bonds.
