Commentary

“It feels like déjà vu with the sector remaining reasonably stable as we progress through August. However, the latest market indicators in the Data Dashboard show green shoots emerging, with first-time conversions increasing again to 81% and the wholesale demand index increase rising 0.7 week-on-week. Meanwhile, the profile of vehicles entering Manheim Auction Services shows no change for the average age and mileage, but the wholesale price index increased 11 points week-on-week regardless. As consumer confidence continues to add pressure to demand, supply constraints continue to create a stable, if not optimistic, market.”
