Overcapacity / Oversupply Everywhere: Massive Deflation Dead Ahead
• https://www.zerohedge.com by Charles Hugh SmithOil is the poster child of the forces driving massive deflation: overcapacity / oversupply and a collapse in demand. Overcapacity / oversupply and a collapse in demand are not limited to the crude oil market; rather, they are the dominant realities in the global economy.
Yes, there are shortages in a few high-demand areas such as PPE (personal protective equipment), but across the entire spectrum of global supply and demand, there is nothing but a vast sea of overcapacity / oversupply and a systemic decline in demand as far as the eye can see.
Here's a partial list of commodities that are in Overcapacity / oversupply:
1. Overvalued assets
2. Overpriced income streams (as income craters, so will the asset generating the income)
3. Labor: low-skill everywhere, high-skill in sectors experiencing systemic collapse in demand
4. AirBnB and other vacation rental properties
5. Overpriced flats, condos and houses
6. Overpriced rental apartments
7. Overpriced commercial office space
8. Overpriced retail space
9. Overpriced used vehicles
10. Overpriced collectibles
I think you get the idea.
