Market outlook
Rising Outlook 4/10
Recent 48.4% 30-day gain in raw prices from $2.58 to $5.00, driven by sustained Jordan popularity despite high supply[1].
Next months. Continued modest gains with raw under $10 and graded 8/9 $25-40 range.
Long term. Stable with limited growth due to abundant supply, potential for slight increases tied to Jordan legacy
