Auction Grade : A-

Highlights: For the second auction in a row, the domestic buyers were light but th international buyers were very strong. The bid to cover was higher than the six-month average. There was a negative tail indicative of strong demand as well. The dealers were saddled with less than average.

The weirdness comes from the domestic demand which only accounted for 7.37% of the buyers. That is well below the 18.4% six-month average. It was more than made up by the international demand that 80.47% well above the 65.4% average
