What is deflation — and why it matters. Deflation is a sustained decrease in prices. It sounds good — things get cheaper — but it's dangerous. Consumers delay spending, businesses stop investing, and the economy stalls. That's the deflationary spiral. When deflation hits, cash becomes king. But central banks hate it — it's harder to fix than inflation. This is what we teach in Module 6.1 — Macro Indicators and Sentiment. https://youtu.be/V1Rk4eShsrk
