Hey guys, Ice here,
Here to give you a glimpse at the current situation in the market.
As you may already know, this week started with some heavy conflict in the mid euro regions, and the middle east ( I'm looking at you Palestine, Isreal, and Cyprus ).
This is the current state of the market :

We gonna go one by one ( the most important ones imo ), and i will try my best to provide my interpretation on the situation, and give a short term forecast based on current world events.
Case :

Currently one of the most profitable items, especially after the last 2 updates. Some players were even lucky, had a big stock, and sold it at the peak of 4.12.

With it's current average at 3.969, it is still considered a stable side source of cash, and it's one of the reasons you find more and more war builds with the new loot system, and let's not forget the daily and the weekly free cases you get. ( Thank you game ! )
Mysterious Plant :

One may be easily fazed by the visible continuous dump in the price of Mysterious Plant, but dont let that fool you my camarade ( this dump is considered by some keen eyed eco players as an opportunity ).
Let me remind you that this item is the base ingredient to create Pill, one of the most sought after items in war times. One Pill = 200 work + 200 Plants

With the current ongoing tensions, we might expect some heavy escalations, and conflicts. this is will result in a high demand on Pills to boost fire output. You might even find countries currently securing a stock of Pills, just to protect there money from inflation.
Lead :

Lead, O' Lead, look at what they did to my boy!
After the recent update and the raging conflict in europe ( Germany, France and Italy ), Lead prices started to go up again, this noticable increase in demand ( the good % of buffs in production at the time), resulted in the creation of too many new Lead companies in the span of 2-3 days. And as you might already have guessed, this broke the equilibrium between supply and demand ( in simple terms, too many players are selling the same item ).
Nonetheless, with the current ongoing tensions, Lead remains indirectly one of the most profitable lines of production, as it consists the base ingredient of one of the most used and demanded item in war times, AMMO ( Light, Regular and Heavy ).
Ammo:
Ammo, especially light Ammo and Heavy Ammo.


In terms of quality price, it is clear that Light Ammo are the most balanced. but we are talking investment here.
Light Ammo (most in-demand) and Heavy Ammo (still going-up) both have clearly been impacted by the current world events.
Many factors contributing to this rise in prices, players started investing in Lead and light Ammo ( cheapest to make and the most in demand ), we expect slight dump in the price of Light Ammo, but the heavy Ammo will depend on the tensions between the big powers of the world.
Food :
No big changes in the food industry, as the prices been very stable recently.
Bread have known a huge bump after the update, but it didnt last long and quickly returned to the normal price.

Although, it is worth mentioning Cooked Fish, as it's been going up the last 7 days.

People sure love that 20% Health regen.
Now then, to the most popular 2 items among beginners ( and even veterans ), the go to item to make companies and upgrade them, the two goats; STEEL and CONCRETE.
Concrete:
The base ingredient companies, this is the current situation of concrete:

It took nearly 20 days for Concrete to get back to 1.60+, but it's back ladies and gentleman.
This comeback can be explained by the heavy surge of new babies, notably in countries like Germany and Venezualla.
This item is probably the most opted for line of production in the game ( alongside Steel ). with a good production % buff, it is still one of the most used line of production in the plateform and simply the ony viable way to make more companies, thus, more money in the long term.

It is highly advanced to invest in concrete first with Steel, to make the most ROI for new players but also level 15+ players ( make more companies = more production = more money baby ).
We can't talk about Concrete without mentioning, Limestone.

Again. You see a dump. I see an opportunity. Just saying.
Steel :
Steel is HIM, steel is the base ingredient to upgrade your company.

This is the current situtation of Steel on the market:

As you can see, one month ago before the new update, Steel reach a peak of 1.7.
Last week it fell to a low of 1.53 ( i did buy a lot hihihi ). but low it started to recover just like Concrete with the surge of new players. and it remains an essential industry to have in your company to upgrade and reach higher riches faster.
I'm not forgetting Iron, which intrestingly have the highest production % buff in two regions.

The prices of Iron are dumping tho:

And for the last time :
You see a dump. I see an opportunity.
Oil:

I will not talk about Oil and Petroleum, as I didnt explore or invest in these two. I can only say that these two are quite erratic in there prices, but i m curious to know your opinion in the comment section.
This concludes my report.
If i have to give an opinion ( not an advice i m not an expert ), I'd say to invest in anything related to war (AMMO especially light AMMO), and to capitalize on the surge of the new babies ( CONCRETE ).
This is probably my longest post, it was really tiring to make, there is no AI in it ( F*** AI and Please let RAM prices go down again ).
So don't forget to like, share, sub, and tip if you feel generous ofc.
Take care you guys.
