Macrominer strike?
Well, I did notice a dieoff in the local macro population (as far as I could see) a couple weeks ago. But the population has sprung back and they're doing their usual thing. But one would expect some drop in mineral output while they bring the new batch up to speed.

This is why CCP cannot do anything about the macrominers and isk farmers.
It will simply throw the economy out of whack.
And this is a bad thing why?
We wouldn't want people making isk off of market imbalances.

12 days after my previous post, the mineral index appears to have just topped out. Upward pressure on trit and pyer appears to have slacked, with only zyd really still having upward push. On my alak toon I'd predicted trit would bottom out at about 2.50 and then push back up to 2.90. I still think trit's going to settle down to about the 2.80/2.90 range within the next couple weeks, and overall mineral prices should soften by about 5-7% from current levels in that time frame.
It looks like a bunch of the new low sec macros (that I mentioned last time) got zapped. I see current trit prices about 20% above the lowest levels in early January. There's still some haulers with a suspiciously uniform fit running around, but at least in my area, it seems a bit lower than in the past. Can some of the people higher on the food chain (eg, Ingunn pirates) verify this?
Alternately, the people who haul minerals from low sec to high sec might be getting a lot better at their job. I haven't been keeping track of trade volumes. Might check on that next time I get Eve open. That would indicate some pressure pushing trit down if it were correct.

Contrary to popular beleif, all the hauler macros aren't actually hauling minerals around or anything. The only way they can affect mineral prices are by the cost of replacing them as we blow up hundreds in a night, though thats prob dwarfed by the cost of replacing all the battleships going pop in delve.
hauler macros just do courier missions over and over and over again, and when you break them open all that falls out is construction blocks, sealed containers, and homeless people.
So how many haulers have you popped on the way to the station? It appears to me that whoever was selling trit last month, didn't move it from station to station nor jump. They just dropped the trit into a nearby local station.
