Double Dip Recession Looms

The Telegraph reports that the West is facing the threat of a double-dip recession; after key measures of confidence collapsed in both the United States and Europe, with Germany suffering the steepest one-month fall since records began in the 1970s.

Whilst the USA is mulling a further round of QE, Europe is frozen like a rabbit in the headlights. Member states are bickering as to what should be done, the ECB has blundered by increasing rates this year and Germany is a house divided as the true costs of the Euro expiration are becoming apparent.

Unlesds both the USA and Europe act in unison the double dip is a certainty.
