What's missing in this story is the meaning behind the inflation factors in the different regions of the planet, and the implications for the long term global stability. If this story means what I think it means, the situation is far more serious than the lackluster presentation implies. The undefined "second round effect" is an understatement if it means the first domino falling in a global spiral of inflation and scarcity.

If this story means what I think it means, the situation is far more serious than the lackluster presentation implies. As the oil market fluctuates wildly, we can tighten up and cope. As the food supply fails, we're all in trouble.

This is a short report to tell us that inflation is still a concern in emerging markets. It doesn't really tell me anything new, but if you know along about financial type stuff, I guess you'd be okay. But, if you aren't a financial whiz, the story is a little confusing.

This story was based on one report from the International Monetary Fund. The journalist cites the report in the beginning of the story but doesn't credit it when claiming facts which I found quite confusing. The sources were biased towards the report and we didn't get a picture of the full story. With that being said the story was full of information and after reading it once or twice I was able to understand that all the facts were from one report.
