As you may know we have found several interesting items to follow this year….
First was the TSA throughput, measuring the upward trend in traffic passing through TSA security … here, here and here
Then we stumbled upon the Kastle back to work index, showing commercial office vacancy rates of the ten largest cities – interesting Kastle is a security monitoring company among other things, but hence the ability to share the data.
Used Auto Prices
Recently through the grapevine we heard stories of used auto purchase increases, which make sense as folks exit the larger metro areas and possibly avoid crowded public transportation …
So here is a longer dated chart …
Let’s look a little closer …magnifying the most recent activity
So this is the Price Index for Used Cars and Trucks from the St. Louis Fed (FRED) database….
Surprising at first, but upon second thought…. not surprising at all !
We will keep track, and hope you find it maybe just a little bit as interesting as we do!
Have a Great “Used Car and Truck Flying off the shelf” Day!
