More than likely, it's peeps in PANLV who need to dump tech to buy oil. None of this happened until IMP dec'd on PAN. Or maybe I'm wrong.
tech has dropped around now the last two sets. the first set it spiked after a week of low prices, but last set it didn't rebound as much. i know you were not around this time last set, at least as far as i know, so i hope that helps.
So you're saying it's probably just the normal market?
I would agree except that someone(s) put up a huge block of BUS/RES/AGRI tech specifically at $2899. Like 700,000 of each when hours before, all those techs were selling at around $3200.
i think the recall goods option has a factor into the drop too. people are trying to get their tech to sell, and the easiest way to get stuck tech off the market is to recall and sell again cheaper. prices have just dropped drastically with about a month left the last two sets. there have only been three sets now so i can't really say if it is a sure pattern. take it as you will.
With AoDT/NBK getting into an early war the first tech drop happend. Both of us had techs stocked up and half of AoDT were techers. So we have been consistently dumping tech. Specially Agri/Bus/Res/SDI.
Now with sometimes needing a quick sale as you are out cash and are an offline target etc you tend to sell for low prices for easy money.
Then IMP/SoF vs PANLV happened which probally caused the second tech drop. 200 countries worth of semi-netters no longer harvesting Bus/Res/Agri to sustain their landgrowth will make the price drop. And then IMP/SoF/PANLV all probally selling off unnecisary techs for profit thus more military is not helping the tech market at all.
