Commentary

"The November new car registrations have revealed a +23.5% improvement on 2021; however, they remain -8.8% behind pre-pandemic 2019. Private registrations increased +2.7% YoY, reflecting the continued fulfilment of the backorders, whilst activity returned to the fleet (+45.4% YoY) and business (+112.2% YoY) sectors. Meanwhile, the latest Cox Automotive Data Dashboard reflects a used market of constrained supply and weakening demand as the wholesale supply index increases by 1.9 points weekly, and the wholesale demand index eases by 1.7 points."
