This suggests that sellers have nearly exhausted their potential, and the scales are beginning to tip in favor of buyers.
However, if you dig deeper, the picture becomes less clear-cut. The net sales indicator (the difference between buying and selling volumes) has remained in negative territory for 15 consecutive months...
