Hello Mish
Next month there may be a slight leveling off between 2011 and 2012 – still well down but less of a slope. Looking further ahead, I expect to see almost a flat line or slight downturn towards the end of the summer as the year-on-year comparisons get easier to beat.
Regardless, as you can see the trend remains, with nothing good to see.
Regards,
Tim
