Now a combination of high oil and commodity prices, turmoil in the Middle East, Japan’s earthquake and tsunami, eurozone debt crises, and America’s fiscal problems (and now its rating downgrade) have led to a massive increase in risk aversion. Economically, the United States, the eurozone, the United Kingdom, and Japan are all idling.
如今，高企的石油和商品价格、中东的乱局、日本的地震海啸、欧元区债务危机，加上美国的财政麻烦（和信用降级），共同推高了风险厌恶情绪。美国、欧元区、英国和日本的经济都停滞不前，甚至连快速增长的新兴市场（中国、亚洲新兴经济体、拉美）和依赖这些市场的出口型经济体（德国和盛产资源的澳大利亚），也开始急剧减速。
