Hide market participants reported that a large volume of hides was traded by the end of the All-China Leather Exhibition (ACLE) that concluded on Wednesday September 4. Packers sold material flat to their last traded levels, which came with little buyer resistance and demand for large volumes.
Regular-weight heavy Texas steer (HTS) hides traded at $24.00 per piece on Thursday September 5, returning to the traded price level prior to the $21.50 per piece trade reported on Wednesday.
