The GM is not doing anything on the market.

Players play with the market, it is part of the game and they always did.
Manipulating the market, if you can, is not a loophole nor an error.

In the past, players tried to find out who was doing it and retaliated economically and sometimes militarily.
The gamemaster was not involved then and not now.

You can also very easily counter this by purchasing the products, alone or as a group and balance the market. then you can sell gradually when the market stabilizes and the price is higher and also make a profit in the process.

This is easy to do and will resolve the problem.

A guarantee for profitability, in every product, always cannot be given.

"This is easy to do and will resolve the problem."

No, it is not. We are talking multiple transactions that involved trillions of units. We all know about trading, buying low, selling when price goes up, we get it. We're no new to this.

This is an unprecedented amount that even seasoned players have noticed, and are very curious about. There is no specific country to view that is "affected" by this, since this is a problem affecting multiple planets. At least on KB and WG.

Just take a moment to view Services, and Electric power for examples. Take a looked at the surpluses being pumped into the KB or WB markets. Just take a simple glance. Tell me those are normal amounts.

Could it be that some CEOS had been trading to themselves and now flooding the market?

I don't know, I have no idea how this is happening. Supposedly this is normal behavior, but at this magnitude?

No trillions.
we have nothing in Simcountry trading in Trillions of units.

I have seen 30 Billions (12 and 9 zeros).
I have personally bought the entire surplus of nuclear power for a low price and sold it on the market, as electric power at the high price of electric power at the time.
The shortage was reduced a bit. no surplus as a result.

It was 30 MILLION units max at the total cost of 600B or less.

On KB now, the highest shortage is <6B
The highest surplus is 1.4B

in the past we have seen numbers 5 times that with a world population that was much lower.

Just checked the market on KB.
it seems that the extremes are scaling back.

structural shortage products return to their traditional place.

I see the number of corporations producing a product increase and decline depending on the market situation. (utilization page).

This is helping in regulating the market.

No GM intervention.
Just GM observations.
