Is Hyperinflation on the Horizon – An OTCPicks.com Special Report

Brian Dean, Publisher of OTCPicks.com, announced today the publication of a special report on the threat of hyperinflation. Mr. Dean comments, So what exactly is Hyperinflation? Well… in the simplest of terms, it is extremely high or “out of control” inflation in which prices rise rapidly while a currency loses its value. Other definitions used by the media include “a cumulative inflation rate over three years approaching 100%” to “inflation exceeding 50% a month.”

 

And while there is a great deal of debate regarding the root causes of hyperinflation, most Economists believe that it is caused by a massive and rapid increase in the supply of money, which is not supported by growth in the output of goods and services. This results is an imbalance between the supply and demand for the money (including currency and bank deposits), accompanied by a complete loss of confidence in the money, similar to a bank run.

 

With the recent announcement by the Federal Reserve that they plan to pump an additional $1 trillion into the U.S. economy in the near future, it’s no wonder that hyperinflation seems to be on the minds of many traders these days. One such trader, Zachary Oxman of TrendMax Futures believes “We are facing what I think is one of the most aggressive inflationary periods in our country’s history. The minute these commodity markets sniff inflation, things are going to go through the roof and the dollar is going to get whacked.”
