Rare Material Commodity Boom
By ANGELA SMITH
Rare Material commodity prices are enjoying their best run in over two years at 3632 CR/MT as of yesterday, fresh evidence that investors are betting on a pickup 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 pile back into commodities. A sustained rally in commodities would likely signal healthy consumer and business demand.

Consumer Goods commodity prices are enjoying their best run in a few months at 8671 CR/MT as of yesterday, fresh evidence that investors are betting on a pickup in the global economy after years of sluggish growth and scant inflation.

A sustained rally in commodities would likely signal healthy consumer and business demand.
Vieneo's Southern Solstice
By MARY STULL
The southern solstice on Vieneo occured Sunday. A solstice is an event occurring when the sun appears to reach its most northerly or southerly excursion relative to the celestial equator on the celestial sphere, which occurs twice each year.
The day of a southern solstice has the most sunlight of the year in the southern hemisphere and the least sunlight of the year for the northern hemisphere.
The word solstice is derived from the Latin sol ("sun") and sistere ("to stand still"), because at the solstices, the sun's declination appears to "stand still"; that is, the seasonal movement of the sun's daily path (as seen from Vieneo) stops at a northern or southern limit before reversing direction.

Colonies Give a “Thumbs Up” for Vieneo
By ANGELA SMITH
Total Colonies has reached a new high of 248 establishments on yesterday. This is fresh evidence that Vieneo is an increasingly attractive destination for investors willing to bet their fortunes on an improving economy. Welcome news after years of indifferent growth in GDP. The increase in colonies reflects the increased demand for commodities. This sustained rally in commodities also benefits a thriving economy generally, with increased consumer and business activity. Of course, any economy is a dynamic entity, and pockets of inflation are to be expected as the global economy adjusts to the new circumstances. These are welcome signs of a healthy, vigorous and better world.
Unemployment Rampant
By ANGELA SMITH
The USR authorities report on yesterday that Deois unemployment has risen to the highest level in almost two years. That is a reported 0.81% 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.
