Popular Post Alastor Posted August 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 9, 2019 Hello all, As a short break from your regularly scheduled forum salt, I'm a here to report on the global trade markets. I'm going to cover a few major topics all in one post so get ready! War Profiteering, Duplication, and Summertime Stagnation: A PnW Summer Economic Expose! War Profiteering has often been an extremely profitable venture, especially when there are multiple uninvolved parties selling to the fighters. This summer we saw PnW's (non-duplicated) total money sums pass half a trillion dollars for the first time on June 2nd. Alex's food-costing project update, combined with mini-sphere wars 'for fun', and finally World War Salt itself has pushed war profiteering global commerce to new heights! Between Alex's new project update and the beginning of Surf's Up, the world collectively made 70 billion sheepcoins from selling now-hyper-valued food. Once Surf's Up was declared, the world's resource hoarders once again minted sheepcoins by the billions to the tune of 85.7 billion between Surf's Up and World War Salt! Since then (June 16th) we've only seen monetary reserves inflate, albeit at a slower rate, by another 44.5 billion sheepcoins. Just to recap: That's 200 billion sheepcoins gained since May 8th - A ~33% increase in the world's monetary supply in 3 months. But while the financial sector is booming, the Dow-Roberts Industrial Index has not fared well during wartime. Summertime Stagnation is upon us. Since roughly July 1st we've seen every single raw resources flatline in terms of production: Coal, oil, bauxite, uranium, iron, lead - all making very little gains and some small losses in global supply. This isn't to mention the obvious - war is eating manufactured resources like hotcakes. Global steel, munitions, gasoline, and aluminum supplies have declined 30-40% across the board. Yet hope still remains deep in the recesses of the world graphs... Food has finally begun to produce net positive again! You heard me right. After months of being eaten like locusts descending on a field, we have finally seen a full week of positive food production again on Orbis. This is only after half the global supply was devoured by the ravenous swarm. Will positive production continue? Probably, says one guy I asked. For those of us waiting for prices to finally drop to buy the damned projects, here's hoping. Thanks for tuning in to another episode of "wow look at those numbers" by Roberts. I added gifs to this one so your short attention spans would be sated. 4 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
