Ashland Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Nations in Asia have to import coal in order to turn their iron into steel. That may have something to do with it. That is sound logic.

Nathan I Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Since not that much alliances are located in Asia,maybe that's steel is so costly now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Wouldn't that make it less expensive? Because both Europe and North America have both ingredients for steel.

Athanasios Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) Since not that much alliances are located in Asia,maybe that's steel is so costly now. Steel lost some serious value in the past couple days though. I bought a bunch the other day for $1500 and I bought some today for a little over $1300, I think those are pretty low prices for steel. At its peak steel was significantly above $2000. I think believe steel is going to lose some serious value by the time of tomorrow's report. We'll have to wait and see. I really don't think it'll get much below $1300 anytime soon so I'd personally consider steel pretty cheap right now. But that's a pretty subjective assessment of mine.

Athanasios Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Market Trends 11/1/14 Market Index: $9,939 (-$629) 1) Gasoline: $1,674 (-$102) 2) Aluminum: $1,521 (-$182) 3) Steel: $1,380 (-$278) 4) Uranium: $1,102 (+$71) 5) Bauxite: $882 (-$30) 6) Coal: $849 (-$106) 7) Munitions: $833 (-$21) 8) Lead: $605 (+$13) 9) Oil: $504 (+$59) 10) Iron: $411 (-$29) 11) Food: $178 (-$23) Notes The overall market value fell nearly 6%, and dropped below $10,000 for the first time since before the war. Bauxite passes coal for the #5 ranking. As predicted, steel's value dropped significantly, losing nearly 17% of its value yesterday. Winter is in full swing as of today. Though at the close of yesterday's market food had lost value, an increase by tomorrow's report should be expected. Overall, market values continue to remain highly unstable, with large +/- increases for nearly every resource nearly every day. The war and its current deescalation are having a significant impact on the market. Quote "We must become bigger than we have been: more courageous, greater in spirit, larger in outlook.

SoS Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 There have been numerous attempts at controlling the market price in the past, sadly none ever worked. You'd need the full cooperation of an entire bloc to do that Is it weird that I heard ominous music after reading this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ooohu Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Steel & Aluminum should do pretty well over the next week as alliances rebuild themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagpuss Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Why should they.... You sell off your military and get some of what you spent back. I nevver had a shortage of either during the war. Alliance banks will have a load too or people like me may well pass it around for people to rebuild with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athanasios Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Market Trends 11/2/14 Market Index: $10,161 (+$222) 1) Gasoline: $1,632 (-$42) 2) Steel: $1,632 (+$252) 3) Aluminum: $1,426 (-$95) 4) Uranium: $1,137 (+$36) 5) Coal: $932 (+$83) 6) Munitions: $901 (+$68) 7) Bauxite: $884 (+$2) 8) Oil: $566 (+$62) 9) Lead: $454 (-$151) 10) Iron: $427 (+$16) 11) Food: $170 (-$8) Notes The market had a good day overall, recovering 2% of its value. Steel overtakes aluminum, and is now tied with gasoline for the #1 position. Coal takes the #5 position from bauxite. Munitions jump up to #6. Bauxite falls two spots to #7. Oil takes the #8 position from lead. With the War of Debatable Aggression officially being called to peace, munitions and gasoline prices are likely to continue to stay relatively low in comparison to their values last week. Steel and aluminum are likely to increase value as nations switch back to commerce, rebuilding, and reconstruction from the war.

Athanasios Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) Market Trends 11/3/14 Market Index: $9,517 (-$644) --- (-6.3%) 1) Gasoline: $1,453 (-$179) --- (-10.9%) 2) Aluminum: $1,410 (-$16) --- (-1.1%) 3) Steel: $1,398 (-$234) --- (-14.3%) 4) Uranium: $1,174 (+$37) --- (+3.3%) 5) Coal: $926 (-$6) --- (-0.6%) 6) Bauxite: $919 (+$35) --- (+4%) 7) Munitions: $671 (-$230) --- (-25.5%) 8) Lead: $503 (+$49) --- (+10.8%) 9) Oil: $497 (-$69) --- (-12.2%) 10) Iron: $400 (-$27) --- (-6.3%) 11) Food: $166 (-$4) --- (-2.4%) Notes The market had a bad day, losing 6.3% of its total worth. All 4 manufactured resources lost value, with 3 of the 4 taking significant hits. 4 out of the 7 raw resources dropped as well. Munitions took the biggest hit of the day, equating a 25.5% loss. Supply for munitions is high right now and demand is low. Lead took the biggest rise of the day, a 10.8% gain. Aluminum passes steel for the #2 position. Bauxite passes munitions for the #6 position. Lead passes oil for the #8 position. As White Peace has been declared in The War of Debatable Aggression, prices are likely to continue to fall.

Grillick Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 The price of munitions is becoming dangerously close to the price of lead. Oh, dear. Since one lead produces three munitions, I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing.

Ashland Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Since one lead produces three munitions, I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing. That's valid. But it still cuts into the margins of munitions producers. And while I do not do that myself, I know someone heavily invested in it.
