3. What does deflation mean to investors?

Deflation is the macroeconomic impact on a country where the lowering of prices are experienced. This is directly the opposite of inflation where consumers will experience a rise in the cost of living.  Deflation is not something that is welcomed but you would be forgiven if you thought that lower prices would be wonderful. deflation means that the prices of everything dramatically drops and when it drags on too long, companies’ profits begin to drop. Economic circumstances then force the companies to sell their products for even cheaper, and consequently have to cut back on labor and production costs or even close down production facilities. The result of this is that unemployment rises, the economy cannot expand and people aren’t spending their money because the future seems unclear. When people aren’t spending their money, companies aren’t’ making profit therefore their value decreases and nobody wants to buy shares.
