Comment The finer micron merinos were cheaper early in the week, but they rebounded quite strongly during the sale on Wednesday. There is no doubt an element of variable quality that is influencing these fluctuations from week to week. The market sentiment was more positive at the close of the sale with the Fremantle auction […]

Trading conditions are difficult, as they often are at this time of […]
