    Maybe someone mis-typed the formula into the IMF model and they came out with the total opposite conclusion. It's clear they discovered their mistake and rectified it in the international media. Someone may get fired for this.

  4. Overvalued based on what? Markets have a tendency to make comments like the IMF a passing breeze. Doesn't matter what they think.

    This is the herd view. Position accordingly
