    Was expecting 2000% gains or summat they way they were going on, but still incredible how naive the powerhouses really were. Great article.

    Sorry Ixus, will post links in there in future unless i think they need the prominence of their own post, which i felt this one did.

    That post about the ghost ships is very interesting, my trade is full of talk about ships being "parked" all over the world. Freight from China To Europe for a 40' container was $700.00 last year is now $4000.00 because of the parked ships.

    So when you all start to see non food goods rise in stores its because of the freight.

    How's that work - would've thought prices would be going down with the oversupply...?

    Here is how it works.

    You go into say Tesco and buy a trampoline for your kids, There is approx 150 of these in a 40' container so the freight per piece last year was $4.66 so the retailer could reduce their price or hold it where it was.

    Now the same item has a freight cost of $26.66 therefore there will be price increases also as fuel continues to increase it adds to the price of transport.

    Ireland is one of the worst affected countries by this recession and pretty much everywhere else is coming out of recession and starting to buy again so the chinese will start to increase their factory gate prices.
