Total Trade Volume Booming
By ANGELA SMITH - Friday, January 17, 2251
At first glance, citizens will be pleased to know that Vieneo is enjoying a stock market boom. The volume of options traded on the future market has reached a dizzying 700 MT which exceeds the record set over four years ago. We should all feel rich! However, on closer examination, the global economy shows signs of imbalance. Foodstuffs and consumer goods account for 90% of the market. Whereas, industrial products especially unrefined fuel ore, refined fuel and fabricated materials account for only 5% of the market. As we all know, Iagreous is the fundamental basis of our economy; without it we would not be here. So why the imbalance? Some could argue that the apparent shift towards consumers is the healthy sign of a maturing developed economy. Not so! In many respects Vieneo is still a frontier world. Sure, we now have a miriad colonies in addition to Deois but common sense suggests there are still vast tracts of unexplored territory waiting to be exploited for its valuable fuel ore. And some of that will be highly desirable rare. Do we have any brave adventurers willing to risk all to make a fortune? After all, we live in a meritocracy where hard work is rewarded. More to follow from your intrepid reporter.

Consumer Goods Commodity Slump
By ANGELA SMITH - Monday, January 13, 2251
Consumer Goods commodity prices are at their lowest price in two years at 6678 CR/MT as of Tuesday, fresh evidence that investors are betting on a downturn in the global economy after years of sluggish growth and scant inflation. Now, as signs of inflation and improving global demand have returned, investors are beginning to shy away from commodities. A sustained slump in commodities would likely signal unhealthy consumer and business demand.

Unemployment Rampant
By JAMES THILL - Friday, January 17, 2251
The USR authorities report on yesterday that Deois unemployment has risen to the highest level in a few months. That is a reported 0.98% of Deois inhabitants not officially employed. Who are these people? Where are they hiding? How do they survive? Of course, many will be the wives and families of hard-working colonists. And some will be casual laborers looking for work. But maybe there is a dark underbelly to our world? What are the implications for crime and of course for personal protection? We will follow this story.
