A very nice upward graph. The result of increased demanded due to the new BCs popping them? Due to increased cost of inputs -- I have no idea what these would be. Other thoughts?

This pure Orca character is for sale.

If you look at how many Charons are being sold, it hasn't really changed in the past 6 months. If I have to venture a guess...I think the mineral took an arrow to the knee

This is what happened. Could also be that some builders, due to increased mineral prices (potential that the finished Freighter, once out of the cooker, could not be sold at a profit), stopped manufacturing temporarily, cutting the supply slightly.

In any case it is a fairly low volume market so it tends to react to mineral price changes (and lag slightly behind them due to production times).

Before the patch I was looking at volumes and prices of freighters thinking about the gank angel and notices most of the other freighters had many days worth of supply but the CCaron only had one, so it seems a little easier to manipulate.

I dunno, could be nothing but I'm looking at selling mine here pretty soon.

It's minerals.

The same can kinda be seen on Provs and Obelisks, and of as yesterday to a lesser extent Fenrir. There's a 20-24 day lag between minerals going in and a freighter popping out. Combine this lag with market competition and relatively small volumes and adjustments in mineral prices take a while to filter into freighter prices.
