Investors Trading Academy2015.12.1---什麼是通貨緊縮？
發佈日期：2015年12月1日
Welcome to the Investors Trading Academy talking glossary of financial terms and events. Our word of the day is “Deflation”
Deflation is the reduction of prices of goods, and although deflation may seem like a good thing when you’re standing at the checkout counter, it’s not. Rather, deflation is an indication that economic conditions are deteriorating. Deflation is usually associated with significant unemployment, which is only corrected after wages drop considerably. Furthermore, businesses’ profits drop significantly during periods of deflation, making it more difficult to raise additional capital to expand and develop new technologies.
“Deflation” is often confused with “disinflation.” While deflation represents a decrease in the prices of goods and services throughout the economy, disinflation represents a situation where inflation increases at a slower rate. However, disinflation does not usually precede a period of deflation. In fact, deflation is a rare phenomenon that does not occur in the course of a normal economic cycle, and therefore, investors must recognize it as a sign that something is severely wrong with the state of the economy.

欢迎来到财务条款和事件的投资者交易学院讲词汇。
我们当天的词是“通货紧缩”
通货紧缩是商品价格的降低，虽然通货紧缩可能看起来像当你站在收银台一件好事，它不是。相反，通货紧缩是一个迹象表明经济状况正在恶化。通缩通常是与显著的失业，这是只有修正后的工资大幅下降有关。此外，企业的利润在通缩时期显著下降，使之更难以筹集额外资金，以扩大和发展新技术。
“通缩”经常混淆与“通胀”。虽然通货紧缩代表整个经济的商品和服务的价格下降，通货紧缩表示的情况下通胀上升速度较慢。但是，通胀通常不会先于一段时间的通货紧缩。事实上，通货紧缩是不发生在一个正常的经济循环的过程，因此，投资者必须认识到它作为一个标志，什么是严重错误的经济状况罕见的现象。
