Truckiot buying activity was good with
the best interest from 7 seasonal areas and
HRI accounts. Offerings were clearing
well and continued to be held with
increased confidence. Trucking problems
from outside the area also added some
pressure. Demand was expected to peak for
the weekend with some traders concerned
about clearances for and after that period.
The market tone was fully steady with a
cautious underlying sentiment.
