The net balance of responses regarding demand from new buyers increased slightly from -7% in March to -2% in April, suggesting a stabilizing trend in demand. At the same time, the net balance
for new sales instructions fell marginally (-6% in April), which continues to indicate a general scenario of stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There were also smaller changes in the volume of sales, with a net balance of -11% in April compared to -10% in March. As was the case last month, there continues to be a divergence
between sales and expectations, which improved, albeit slightly (from +7% to +8% in April).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
