When was the last time that the United States had a deflationary period during good market conditions? This might be a pretty new condition for some people.

  What do you mean by "good market conditions?" Also, we're definitely not in deflationary conditions - this implies a decrease in prices of goods. The shock to supply chains is actually going to make things more expensive. What we're really looking at is the possibility of stagflation - inflation + fall in demand.

    Check currency trading platforms - we are deflationary as of this moment.

      ??? That's not how you measure deflation.... edit: for those wondering you wanna look at a Consumer Price Index (CPI) to dertemine inflation/deflation
