Liquidity trap refers to a situation where monetary policy is ineffective because interest rates are close to zero, causing people and banks to hoard money even if more is supplied. This can occur during severe recessions and deflation. Two examples are the Great Depression and Japan's lost decade in the 1990s. Overcoming a liquidity trap requires unconventional policies like quantitative easing or expansionary fiscal policy to stimulate demand.
This document discusses business cycles and fluctuations. It notes that economies regularly experience periods of expansion/prosperity and contraction/recession. During expansions, investment, employment, output and incomes rise leading to economic growth. However, expansions cannot continue indefinitely and eventually reach a peak, after which a recession begins as demand falls. Recessions can deepen into depressions, with shrinking GDP, high unemployment and falling prices. Eventually, depressions bottom out and economic recovery begins, starting the business cycle again.

The Henley Group's Market Outlook - May 2013Nicola Arnold
The document provides an outlook on global markets from Henley for May 2013. It discusses developments in various asset classes including equities, currencies, fixed income, property, and commodities. For equities, it provides perspectives on the US, Japan, UK, Europe, Australia, ASEAN, China, India, and other emerging markets. It notes that central bank actions have inflated asset prices temporarily but that the large US national debt poses long-term sustainability issues. For Japan, it expects more stimulus measures to weaken the Yen further. The outlook is mostly negative given continued risks from high debt levels and prospects for currency depreciation from monetary easing.
The Henley Group's Market Outlook - May 2013Tania Scott
The document provides an outlook on global markets from Henley for May 2013. It discusses developments in various asset classes including equities, currencies, fixed income, property, and commodities. For equities, it provides a positive assessment of Japan due to new stimulus measures weakening the Yen but remains negative on the US due to large national debt and lack of political will to address long-term fiscal issues. It also remains neutral on Japan, expecting more stimulus and monetary easing to revive the economy under a new Prime Minister and central bank Governor. The outlook expresses a negative view on fixed income given low yields compared to potential future inflation, but sees some opportunities in emerging market bonds in the short-term. Property prices are seen

1. China's stock market crash...in 2 minutes
1) Stocks pulled back from the brink Thursday, with the benchmark Shanghai Composite index
gaining nearly 6%.
2) That doesn't mean the crisis is over. Trading was extremely volatile, and investors are still very
nervous.
3) The root cause: Over the past year, investors poured more and more into Chinese stocks, even
though economic growth and company profits were weak.
4) Retail investors -- think mom and pop, average folks -- were the most enthusiastic. A classic
bubble developed.
5) The bubble popped on June 12, and since then, the Shanghai Composite index has lost about 30%
of its value. The smaller Shenzhen Composite is down around 40% over the same period.
