Foodstuffs commodity prices are at their lowest price in a couple of months at 819 CR/MT as of today, 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.
Consumer Goods Commodity Boom
By JAMES THILL - Saturday, November 8, 2251
Consumer Goods commodity prices are enjoying their best run in about a month at 7576 CR/MT as of Sunday, 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.

E-11 Lost in Terrain Collision
By ANGELA SMITH - Wednesday, November 5, 2251
An E-11 Saint, operated by Mineral Mountain Madness Co., crashed into an empty field in the Liena region Thursday at 21:59Z. All 8 people listed aboard were killed. Local weather observations recorded IFR conditions, a cloud ceiling of 601 meters above the ground, surface winds of 10 m/s. Whether those conditions contributed remains undetermined. Ground witnesses have not been established for this location. With no recent ATC track available for the initial report, locating and recovering the aircraft's "black box" will be a priority for investigators. Recorder findings are not yet available.

Unemployment Rampant
By JAMES THILL - Monday, November 10, 2251
The USR authorities report on today that Deois unemployment has risen to the highest level in a few months. That is a reported 1.40% 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.

Total Colonies Slump
By ANGELA SMITH - Friday, November 7, 2251
The Governor's office announced Saturday that the total colony count has fallen to 313, the lowest level in a few months. The Yonmaran development board is pointing fingers at the alliances blaming them for not maintaining the existing colonies and endangering the workforce.
Weather Conditions Draw Attention After Crash
By JAMES THILL - Thursday, November 6, 2251
An E-11 Saint, operated by Mineral Mountain Madness Co., crashed into the Deois Industrial District, near BROWN ST Friday at 19:30Z. The pilot was the sole occupant and was killed. The last available ATC track point, about 3 seconds before the incident, placed the aircraft at 375 meters above sea level, with a groundspeed of 60 m/s. Groundspeed increased by 53 m/s over 20 seconds. Local weather observations recorded IFR conditions, a cloud ceiling of 565 meters above the ground, surface winds of 7 m/s. The role of those conditions will require further investigation. The preliminary account leaves the cause open pending examination of the wreckage and any recovered recorders.
