Playing as Genoa in 1.22.2 patch I get the Birthplace of Global Trade, Institution. Nice!
I get Global Trade Hub modifier in Genoa for a 10+ Local Trade Power.

Great, but then...my trade income immediately drops from 14.14 to 10.78, (auto)-collecting in Genoa home node only, so a 25% drop in trade income. Which kind of hurts :)

I don´t get this, it must be perfectly reasonably, but I would like to understand the mechanics at work here. Can someone please explain what happened.

Did my local trade vanish into the global trade due to this institution or what?

So many things could have affected it. Either some modifier expiring at the same time, or other countries changing their trade power. Maybe your bourgeois influence or loyalty just went past a certain threshold.
