The August Market Pulse is out, and for the first time it covers the US

Two issues this month, reported separately because the two markets did not behave the same way.

In Europe, advertised repricing became less frequent without becoming shallower: about 94% of asking prices held within ±2%, reductions outnumbered increases 21 to 1, and the median reduction was 9.0%. The share of vessels reduced fell from 8.3% in July to 5.6% in August — lower than July's own forecast — while the typical reduction barely moved.

In the first United States edition, frequency and depth peaked in different parts of the market. The middle moved most often — 9.7% between $150,000 and $300,000 — while the entry tier moved furthest: below $50,000 the median reduction was 14.1%, the deepest of any band.
