What happened this week: The week was pretty much the ‘non event’ we had expected. Although more people are slowly returning from their holidays and communications are starting up again, sales activity was rather spotty and coincidental sales dominated the week rather than interest of any substantial solidity. Nobody was particularly surprised by this. With the large round of activity seen in mid-August most overseas buyers must have sated their demand for September at least and most clients out in the Far East will certainly now wait for the visits and budgets of their clients for the coming six to nine months whilst also trying to gather a better feel for the raw material market from the show in Shanghai.
