  (Inflation roaring ahead) Inflation or disinflation are commonly used words in economic narratives to describe price expectations of an increase or decrease in goods and services . If there is a number to work with, The US Fed and Japanese central bank conventional wisdom put it at 2% as the golden number, not too hot or not so cold. Central banks around the world had a love hate relationship with inflation. Too hot, it create bubble in the financial market and cause social unrest, too low it may cause deflation which can result in falling asset prices. Japan went through many decades of deflation in its economy cause by bad loans weighting on banking sector profit and their ability to lend. Many businesses had to defer capital spending due to lack of pricing power. A generation of penny pinching consumers were born which restrict the ability of Japan businesses to raise price. The ¥100 shop boom are the indirect result of deflation as consumers went for cheap and value for money...
