Comment There was not a lot of change in the market this week, but it was certainly accentuated by movements in the value of currencies following the US Federal election. Tuesday, with Sydney selling in isolation, showed some modest gains across the board in a small and varied offering. Not a lot of change followed […]
COMMENT. A generally positive day with Sydney selling in isolation in the eastern states. FLEECE All descriptions up to 1% dearer with the finer end most affected. SKIRTINGS All skirtings around the same level of last week. OPEN TOP All descriptions unchanged in a nominal offering.
Comment There was not a lot of change in the general market this week. The Sydney values settled a little on the first day following a more positive result compared to Melbourne to close out the previous week. Melbourne results, on the other hand, were a little better overall. The selection is particularly good at […]
Comment It was another strong performance for the wool market this week. All types and descriptions were positive. There was some variability in the superfine end, but this is largely affected by small volume and the variable quality on offer. The market stimulus has largely been instigated by Chinese activity but is now supported by […]
COMMENT. Market strength continues. Sydney sold in isolation and all types were approximately 1% dearer again. Better specification, low VM most affected. FLEECE 1% dearer with 19.0 micron and finer, better specification, most affected. SKIRTINGS A full 1% dearer, finest and best types most affected. OPEN TOP Generally, very firm.
COMMENT. A generally more positive market tone across all types. Sydney and Melbourne quotes move more in line. The Melbourne market was a little dearer than Sydney today. FLEECE All better specification 16.0 to 18.0 micron a full 1% dearer with Italian interests dominating. 17.5 micron most affected. All other descriptions par to 0.5% dearer […]
Comment Unexpectedly the market closed in positive territory. Amidst the lack of demand we saw a shining light in the sub 15 micron wools attract keen competition with significant price incentives. Day 2 this week provided the market with an excellent style selection including high quality certified wool which the market has been starved of […]
Comment We were pleased to see some good competition on the better 17.5/18.0 micron clips this week. Despite the lower market, these types were attracting better competition than the more average types. The sales that traditionally offer more fine wool are fast approaching. This week was one, but the supply was still very limited. Perhaps […]
COMMENT. Market generally very firm with stronger interest from the Italian sector on the best 17.5/18.0 micron selection. The first of the New Zealand sales was held in Melbourne. 17% of that offering was passed in and the sale results were in line with the Australian market. FLEECE Best style and specification 17.5/18.0 micron 1 […]
Comment Sales have resumed this week following the three-week midyear recess. While prices were generally lower in local currency, considering the AUD/US exchange rate, the benchmark AWEX EMI was dearer over the week in USD terms. Better specification, lower VM types were more keenly sought after and least affected by the market movement. Buyers across […]
