Each January we seem to go through this same pointless ritual of ASX Price and Volume queries, It is almost as if there is some big bunch of holidays during late Dec and early Jan which means that a lot of market participants are away on holiday, and then they return to the market and often take the opportunity of selling/buying and or rebalancing their trade positions or their long term portfolio about different commodities. I know that it's a bit of a stretch for the ASX compliance team, but they might also care to think about things like commodity prices, and the effect that changing commodity prices might have on explorers and developers.

Or might be as others imply - maybe some KPI cut-off dates for Price and Volume Enquiries around the end of Jan?
