What happened this week: What could one actually expect now prior to the Hong Kong Leather Fair? Well, not much with the sentiment having changed so much over the past ten days already. A lot of people are already travelling in Asia and running into each other in the main tanning centres, airports, hotels or main clients. Being in this trade for a while and knowing many people for the same period, it is pretty obvious how nervous many suppliers are and one doesn’t need to be a doctor of psychology to see quickly how people are positioned these days. You can literally physically grab the fear, that something happens to this market and the hardest price pushers of the past months are today the ones with the biggest scare.
