FLEECE Seller’s favour for all good specification types. SKIRTINGS 18.0 micron and finer 0.5% easier 19.0 micron and broader buyer’s favour. OPEN […]

Comment Again, not a lot of change in the general market. Buyers are still indicating that demand is limited, yet the auction market is performing reasonably well. The selection of best fine wool is becoming less and less every week and it’s becoming difficult to compare from week to week when trying to evaluate the […]
Comment There was not much change in the market this week. Despite there being little to celebrate in terms of demand prior to the sale, the market continues to outperform expectations. It was obvious from the opening day that, even if the market was a little flat, competition seemed more widespread with a larger range […]

Comment The most obvious competition was centered around the better specification fine wool, those most suitable for the Italian market. Despite another 50,000 odd bales being offered, there was only minor movements, generally a little lower, for the remainder of the market. The Australian dollar was weaker against the USD resulting in a little more […]
