Annual Yield
Vehicle sales in March fell to their lowest level in more than two years, hit by factors including the widening price gap between new and used autos as well as rising interest rates and a slowing of the replacement cycle. According to Autodata, vehicle sales ran at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 16.62 million in March, down from 17.58 million in February. They hit 18.54 million in December and have fallen since with drops in both new car and light truck sales, foreign and domestic.
