AUSTRALIAN WEEKLY MARKET REPORT
Comment
Auction prices eased again this week but were noticeably generally firm in USD values with the AWEX benchmark EMI +5 for the week in US currency. There now appears more confidence at these levels. The slowing rate of the easing trend is encouraging as more buyers are now looking forward. The small number of sales between now and Christmas will have some a little more interested in buying for prompt delivery.
