Here is my opinion about the current economy:
Certain things have increased prices because of consumer taste: These items include; PvP gear, McMMo concoctions, Certain Voting items, and Certain enchanted books.
The nether market; Is at rock bottom due to the influx of items in the market
The valuable material market is iffy, Certain commodities like gold are on the rise due to dumps for the item, but other things like diamonds, lapis, emeralds, iron are still bottomed out after the fishing crisis
Overall I would like to say the markets are all very healthy because consumer wages seem to be on the rise. The only shortfall of the current economy would be at the top of the money top list. All of those 1%-ers are hording money as a competition and investing very little of it back into the markets.
