China, which is one of the largest producers of manufactured goods, is starting to increase its pricing models because of inflation, as well as their economic slowdown from their real estate market. The Producer Price Index is going to escalate. What we will see in the near future is hyperinflation, stagflation, adjustable mortgages will go from 2.5% three years ago to 7-8%. The economy is going to go south with no end in sight.
