AUSTRALIAN WEEKLY MARKET REPORT
Comment
Supply is certainly driving the market at the moment, with low demand globally it has tested the market which has been supported by the Chinese topmakers who are also carrying large volume of wooltop and finding these current market conditions difficult to contend with. Certified/Traceability schemes are still the shining light in this environment and becoming more relevant with recent news about some big fashion brands here in Australia and abroad not meeting the demands of social responsibility caring for workers’ rights.
