Boxing Day sales could extend as retailers report low levels of trading

Australian retailers are reporting this year’s Boxing Day sales have recorded lower-than-usual levels of trading. Shoppers could see sales extended into the new year as retailers look to shift their stock. Retail bosses say the Boxing Day crowds have generally met their expectations. This is after accounting for cost of living pressures. Customers are encouraged to take advantage of the discounted stock with some retailers cutting prices beyond 50 per cent.
