Export growth collapsing. Economies screaming for more fiscal stimulus.


World export growth slowing rapidly now.

From Zerohedge this morning:

"Japan trade deficit hits record", "Australia Records First Trade Deficit in 11 Months on 8% Plunge in Exports", "Brazil Posts First Monthly Trade Deficit in 12 Months " then of course this: "[US] Trade deficit hits 3-year record imbalance", and finally, as of late last night, we get the following stunning headline: "China Has Biggest Trade Shortfall Since 1989 on Europe Turmoil."

The world economy is screaming for further fiscal stimulus now, but it’s not going to happen because of fears over debt and deficits.
