Bloomberg: Central Banks Now Open 24/7 Fighting Currency Wars and Deflation

Spooked by the threat of deflation, Sweden’s Riksbank became the latest to put investors on alert when it said on Thursday that it’s “prepared to do more at short notice” after cutting its main interest rate below zero and unexpectedly saying it will buy government bonds.
