How often are Commodity Prices updated?

[evanevery]

Are station prices recalculated/updated at the daily "tick" or can it happen even more frequently?

(I know it can happen AT LEAST daily but curious if even more frequent...)

Don't think updated every day, but are effected by economic state i.e. boom etc.

I know for rare commodities it changes more often then the tick but im not sure at how long or when for normal commodities. Try Pming Jane she might know https://forums.frontier.co.uk/member.php/43097-Jane-Turner

Price changes due to supply being used up or demand being met are every ten minutes. These will generally not be particularly *large* changes, however, unless you've got a CG-sized amount of hauling going on.

Price changes due to BGS state changes occur daily and can potentially be very large.

Price changes due to updated Powerplay control occur weekly and are generally fairly small.

One thing to note - several times in the past price updates (and stock level updates) got slower, to the point of only updating once every few days. This generally happened a few months after the most recent game update and got fixed once a new update was deployed.
