Total Trade Volume Booming
By ANGELA SMITH - Saturday, June 7, 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 112760 MT which exceeds the record set almost six 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.

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.
