German Perspective—16.12.08
16/12/2008
What happened this week: Things were moderately slowing down this week, but the stress did not diminish. The continuing flow of bad news from many industries and economies is not loosening its grip on the hide market and a few sellers are still panicking. These days, throwing a rumour into the market is enough to scare suppliers and some still believe that falling prices are actually stimulating demand.
