MCLEAN, Va., July 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Commercial truck analysts at J.D. Power Valuation Services note in their July 2017 Commercial Truck Guidelines Industry Update that June's commercial truck wholesale auction market returned to analyst expectations.

Major findings in the free monthly report note:

• June auction volume returned to normal levels after May's unusually low performance.
• Pricing slightly declined.
• Retail depreciation remained calm.
• Monthly depreciation ran 0.7 percent milder than in 2016.
• Medium duty market retrenched in May.
• Volume was mixed for the month.

Chris Visser, senior commercial truck analyst at J.D. Power Valuation Services said, "Volume of the most common sleeper tractors sold at auction increased greatly in June after a poor showing in May."

Visser went on to say, "We saw the pricing of our benchmark model decrease 2.8 percent compared to last month, which is a little higher than we expected. The drop is much less dramatic than what we saw in May."
