The domestic vehicle market softened at the start of the fourth quarter, with 1,267 units sold in October — a 2.8 percent drop from September. The decline follows a modest rebound in September, when sales climbed by just over 3 percent. Despite the monthly dip, overall momentum remains positive. Year-on-year, domestic vehicle sales rose 10.7 percent, sustaining the recovery that began after the sharp fall in March. Simonis Storm economist Almandro Jansen.
