Price of commodities fluctuating significantly?

I've not been playing for a few days, due to work, but came back today to do some trading on a route I've been grinding for a while so know well.

The price of one of the commodities, which historically has been always unchanging, has started to fluctuate.

And when I say "fluctuate", I don't mean "changed a bit coming down or going up", but BOTH. In the space of a run there-and-back.

First run, commodity price was X (as it has always been).

Second run, it was 81% of X, which is a massive difference.

Third it was 104% of X (that's 139% increase over second run price!!!)

Fourth it was 100.9% of X. Which is still quite a big difference from third.

And all this in the space of a back-and-forth trip, lasting <15 mins. The commodity at the other end stayed reasonable constant during this time.

Anyone else seen such fluctuations on their runs?

Was part of the info given for update 1.05.

Guess it isn't fully working yet, but guess it marks the start of the "end" of the fixed trade routes and the beginning of the trade runs, wider and farther.
 
Yup I have been milking a good trade route for weeks now and the prices never moved. Since 1.05 they have slowly been dropping and soon I'm going to have to look elsewhere. No bad thing in my view.
 
I've never seen this. In the place I am trading prices seem to be stable, fluctuating a little bit but always returning to 'normal' in short time. Maybe it is like political simulation, they patched it a bit and it started to work, but not everywhere and every time. But if it is true, this is really good news, it seems we can have realistic market in March or even February, after a few more patches. I hope it was not some kind of illusion and ED is really being fixed every week.
