How to Read COE Price Trends
COE prices do not move randomly — they follow patterns driven by supply, demand, and timing. The most important structural factor is the quarterly quota, which is largely determined by deregistrations. When more cars leave the road, more COEs become available, easing prices.
The bid ratio chart above is a leading indicator. When competition heats up (ratio above 2x), prices almost always rise in the following rounds. Conversely, a falling bid ratio often precedes softer prices. Pair this with the supply forecast to anticipate whether conditions are likely to improve or tighten.
The category spread (A vs B) reveals demand composition. A wide spread indicates strong appetite for larger vehicles, while a narrow spread suggests uniform market softening. For actionable signals based on all these factors combined, see the bid advisor. For historical context going back to 2002, browse the full results archive.
