Global Crisis: Goldman Sachs Says That Brazil Has Plunged Into ‘An Outright Depression’

Global Crisis: Goldman Sachs Says That Brazil Has Plunged Into ‘An Outright Depression’:
"One of the most important banks in the western world says that the 7th largest economy on the entire planet has entered a full-blown economic depression. 
Brazil’s economy has now contracted for three quarters in a row, and many analysts believe that things are going to get far worse before they have a chance to get any better. 
Earlier this year, I warned about “the South American financial crisis of 2015“, and now it is in full swing. 
The surging U.S. dollar is absolutely crushing emerging markets such as Brazil, and if the Fed raises interest rates this month that is going to make the pain even worse. 
The global financial system is more interconnected than ever before, and the decisions made by the Federal Reserve truly do have global consequences. 
So much of the “hot money” that was created by the Fed poured into emerging markets such as Brazil during the good times, but now the process is starting to reverse itself. 
At this point, it is hard to see how much of South America is going to avoid a complete and total economic disaster."
