The first round of bidding for June saw Certificate of Entitlement (COE) premiums slipping across the board.

Premiums for Cat A have now dipped back below the $100,000 mark after having climbed above it in the first COE bidding session of May 2025. Easing new car buying interest following the 2025 The Cars Expo could explain this fall in premiums and could also explain the drop in the total number of bids submitted this session for all private car categories when compared to the previous bidding session.

COE premiums have not seen such a significant drop across all categories since February 2025.
