Although the auction results dropped slightly from the previous session, the overall deals remained satisfactory. Market players attribute the increased buyer interest in auctions to competitive pricing resulting from the DCE rebound. However, there is ongoing evaluation among market players to determine the sustainability of this rebound trend.
