Andy, a question has come to my mind on about the changes on market pricing or to be more precise about the increased production numbers which has been introduced to compensate the lower prices:

Did you also increase the Usage of materials?
Meaning if you put 10% higher output of Product do Corps/Countries that use that Product also have an 10% increase in usage of said Product?

The market has shortages for years, in most products.

The gradual increase of production, has reduced some of these shortages. It has not structurally changed the shortages into surpluses.

We think that the market should be more balanced. There should not be a situation where you are certain that products will remain in short supply.

In the past months, corporations became more profitable. Currently, a corpration can be very profitable even if the product is not at the top price of the market but fluctuating with some periods of surplus.

We think that the markets are not stable yet.
There is more manpower now available for new corporations because some have closed.
example: services, oil and electric power always had large shortages. there are more corporations now producing these products and they will purchase more materials they need.

this process is taking place right now.

shortages cause the worlds industry to run at low production percentages because they did not get the raw materials they needed.
the percentages are increasing and purchasing of materials too.
