Conclusion: The supply bottleneck at the turn of the year and the subdued demand sentiment in the first few weeks of the year are only slowly subsiding. Hidden price cuts outside of the quotation range are causing displeasure. However, the first weak signs of an improvement in the market situation (low pre-registrations, decreasing weights) are encouraging.
