We're importing less, and not producing more. Here's 3 ways this could end: 1. This supply-demand imbalance creates shortages and empty shelves 2. Price rise to equate demand and supply, sparking inflation 3. A recession decreases demand (so shortages never emerge)

So, either you voluntarily cut down demand and let supply and demand adjust themselves without much of a price rise, or, if demand is not adjusted, prices will go up and do the needful: Dr. Ashok Kumar Lahiri #NewsToday | Rajdeep Sardesai

3 minutes of Ben Bernanke saying that 2021-2023 inflation was driven by supply-side shocks, not demand. "The inflation was caused, pretty much, by the supply side. […] those of us who thought this was a supply-side shock said, ‘no, it’ll be a pretty benign disinflation.’" /1

Benedict Evans says infinite demand for tokens does not guarantee pricing power: "Right now, we're in this period of extreme disequilibrium of supply and demand and price and CapEx and capacity. But just because demand for tokens is infinite, that doesn't mean that you can't get to a different price equilibrium." "That's what happened with mobile data. Demand for bits is infinite. It's grown 1500, 2000x in the last fifteen years. But you still got to a supply and demand price equilibrium, and you still got a murderous price war between telcos in most parts of the world." "We're in this extreme scarcity, and then we have a pricing system, and we have a free market, and we have a surge of CapEx and like a trillion dollars of CapEx. So those multiples are going to move around. And then what?" Benedict Evans with Erik Torenberg

Felix Prehn, Economist & Hedge Fund Strategist says the silver deficit is structural, not temporary. Miners can't just dig out more, even with demand this strong, because of how silver is mined and how long new supply takes. So the price could run to $100 or $200 an ounce and supply still wouldn't budge.

Ezra Klein asks Gavin Newsom why cities and states run by Democrats are not efficient, and Gavin responds quite inefficiently: Ezra Klein: "Why is it easier to build homes in Texas than California?" Gavin Newsom: "The supply demand imbalance: That supply demand imbalance is next level in California." The people who cannot give you a straight answer, also cannot give you a simple solution.

The IEA just put real numbers behind the fear. Its June report, the first one to look ahead to 2027, was not really about supply. It was about demand. The agency slashed its 2026 demand growth forecast by about 700,000 barrels a day, down to roughly 1.1 million. That is not a rounding error. That is the IEA saying demand is far weaker than anyone hoped, weak enough to change the entire balance of the oil market. Then it gets worse. The first look at 2027 warns of a major supply overhang. Supply normalizing and demand eroding at the same time. A real glut of barrels next year, even bigger than the one that pushed the curve into contango last December. So strip it down. Supply coming back is the good part. Demand being this damaged is the part people keep missing. Because there are two ways oil falls. It falls because supply returns, and that is the good story. Or it falls because supply returns into a world where demand is already broken. Those are not the same thing. And the second one is not inflation. That is the whole point. When oil and the inflation markets are both plunging this fast, they are not pricing higher prices ahead. They are pricing demand coming apart.

The demand for silver is quickly outpacing our supply. When there is a product that is structurally short on supply and demand remains, the price will go up. This is Economics 101. It's a massive problem for industries, but it’s great for silver owners because the value is poised to climb. I analyzed this data with Flyover Conservatives last week.

🚨 FUEL PANIC GRIPS THE UK Videos are emerging of drivers filling multiple containers as fear spreads across UK forecourts. This isn’t nationwide collapse — but it is starting to show cracks. Reports confirm queues, surging demand, and temporary shortages in areas including: Preston. Nottingham. Darlington. Kidderminster. Bridgwater. Other cities like Manchester and Newcastle have seen heavy queues forming. Here’s the reality: There is NO confirmed national fuel shortage. Supply across the UK is still flowing normally. But demand is spiking — fast. Temporary shortages are already being reported at some pumps and forecourts due to this surge. And that’s how this starts. One person stockpiles… Others follow… Queues build… Local stations run dry — not because fuel is gone, but because demand overwhelms supply. We’ve seen this before. Not a collapse — but the exact conditions that create one. Watch closely. Because once confidence goes… everything follows.

Earlier this year, $LITE CEO Michael Hurlston reported that Lumentum was under-shipping optical demand by 30%. At the Global Photonics Economic Forum, he revealed that the projected deficit has now expanded to 70%: "Next year, with the advent of CPO and NPO in 2027, our estimate is that we are going to be under shipping demand by 70% literally 70%. So we can only supply 30% of what we're being asked to supply." He noted that Lumentum is actively having to allocate customer supply, with management not projecting market supply and demand to reach balance until 2029 or 2030. $LITE $COHR $AAOI

Milk supply crisis looming in Australia: Plastic bottle shortages could empty supermarket shelves nationwide. 80% of our HDPE pellets (essential for milk bottles) are now imported and they’re a direct byproduct of fuel refining. This is a total mess. Both governments have dropped the ball! 🇦🇺 😠

BREAKING: Experts believe oil could hit $200/barrel and gas could hit $7.00/gallon if the war in Iran continues. “Well it’s realistic if this war goes on… If this continues it means that all of the oil that is locked in the Strait of Hormuz, that’s 20% of the world’s oil that is not getting out… So you can imagine because of supply and demand, if we don’t get that supply and we have all of the demand for oil, then prices will continue to rise. If this goes to June, $200 is realistic.”

Brooke Rollins: "The American public loves beef. So as the price has continued to creep up for a pound of ground beef, normal supply and demand would tell you the demand would go down, and then the prices would follow. What's happening is exactly the opposite. The prices has continued to rise and people have continued to buy. That's the long-term good news."

Autonomys has a unique dynamic cost of storage model. When more storage is available, the cost of putting data on the network decreases. As storage fills and demand rises, the cost increases—making farming more lucrative and drawing in new farmers. The result: a self-adjusting equilibrium where supply and demand stay balanced in real time. This mechanism is part of our incentive compatibility design—detailed in the Autonomys whitepaper. 👉 Learn more:
