There are certain actions the GM procedure executes each game month that can be seen as influencing the market.
These actions take place for good reasons and in fact do not increase or reduce the total number of products on the world markets at all.
example:
The best example is C3 wars.
When a C3 country is set up for a war at some war level, it gets all the weapons, units and materials that are needed for that level.
The GM gives the country what it needs and places orders on the market.
in many cases, after the war, the C3 returns to a situation with fewer weapons and ammunition. The weapons are taken from the country and are offered on the market.
This is correctly done and does not cause dumping or shortages as it works both ways.
In some cases however, like fortifications, it can end up buying or selling some fortifications and for a product that is not traded in large quantities, it may cause fluctuations of the percentages on the utilization page.
There are more cases, including the reinitialization of abandoned countries, and countries with very large debts that are selling some of their products automatically to raise cash.
