How does the Auction price get determined?
The auction price is determined at the price where the most shares will be bought and sold.
In this example, in the probable trade volume column, you can see that 28 shares will be bought and sold at 107c. This is the greatest volume and therefore the probably trade price for the auction will be 107c. This price is only final when the auction period is closed. Until then, when people place more bids and offers, the price can still move.
