Zydrine is up too. Minerals are up, it isn't just Trit. I'm pretty sure Isogen took a spike last week as well.

I don't use spread sheets. I prefer old school, just looking at the markets for half an hr a day so I can't give exact figures. Feels more like a game that way.

Most people don't rely on chicken entrails, so I'm not surprised that people "haven't noticed".

Nocxium has every reason to be rising on its own actually, and in fact was before Contiesta even came along.

And Zyd's crept back up to 850, I'd hardly call it "crashed" yet.

Zydrine went up fast when Somer's manufacturer Contiesta placed 100B worth zydrine WTB order in Jita. Few days ago someone unloaded his huge zydrine stockpile, fulfilled the WTB order and zydrine crashed immediately. At the same time, Contiesta's 100B worth WTB orders are still up for nocxium and megacyte and their prices are rising steadily.

Highsec miners took their recently buffed up mining ships and parked them afk in the ice belts.

Ice is at record lows, and only moved up over a short lived interdiction.

But since they aren't using these buffed up ships to mine minerals, mineral prices are going to stay high.

Most people don't rely on chicken entrails, so I'm not surprised that people "haven't noticed".

Considering we have seen 75-80% average inflation across the board in the last 2-3 years ICE settling to around 50% might seem a little low.

Seriously??

When I set up my first POS I also started ice mining to supply my own fuel. At that time white glaze was worth about 80k per block. How is the current 120k per block a record low??

Sure GOONS ICE interdiction and the increase in ice miner ganks drove prices up for a while. Now that the ships have been buffed and can not be ganked for profit the prices are coming back down. But are still well above what they were before this all started.

Considering we have seen 75-80% average inflation across the board in the last 2-3 years ICE settling to around 50% might seem a little low. However since ICE mining is now with the ship changes to move tank and more ore hold ICE mining is also easier than ever to AFK.

I doubt the GOONS ever considered that there prolonged HULKAGEDDON and ICE interdiction would result in buffs to mining making AFK activity easier than ever. Well either way they made trillions of isk of manipulating the ICE markets thru their interdiction.

I wonder how much isk GOONS actually have at their disposal. If you added the funds from all their various branches together. I would think there are even only a select few GOONS that could answer that question. 100 Trillion? More?

the tinfoil contained in this post is delicious.

With the lack of Econ DEV blogs for the past6+ months, no CCP Diagoras tweeting stats, nor a QEN all the small folks in Eve are pretty much reduced to relying on soothsaying with Turkey entrails to predict Eve's economy
On that note hoppy Thnxgiving week every1

I find it ... entertraining to see people considering themselves traders but who dismiss the very concept of reading prices.
It's like shop keepers refusing to know when to buy their stock or doctors refusing to visit their patients because it also involves looking at them, at X-Rays and similar.

Markets cannot be predicted but may be ridden.

It's something to bet on an item to make a quick profit like "oh that item has reached his support price let's buy this one" and to predict how the economy will evolve.

Is there inflation ? Does stockpile exist for that mineral ? How much isk is created every month ?

I would like to see a precise answer to these questions but you cannot deduce it from graphs, like you cannot predict the economy from looking at a stock exchange.

I know that, and I know CCP are intentionally hiding the data so that people cannot "predict the economy".
That's intentional and good, we have far too powerful players and entities to give them official data to exploit at their advantage.

Uh no. You believe CCP is intentionally hiding the data because you believe that the willingness to pore over such data gives certain players and entities () an unfair advantage, even if said data is publicly available. All you know is that Diagoras went quiet. The reason is that he apparently went back to school. Whether he's been replaced, and if so, why his replacement hasn't communicated the way he did, is not known.

I mean, unless you read a chart or something that told you otherwise.

Oh that's easy. "We felt that the resources of Doc E and the assistance necessary to collect and put together the QENs was better spent elsewhere." In fact I could swear I heard them actually say that recently. In any case, you're still speculating.

you're not meant to eat the tin foil...
