Comment The market was generally cheaper across the board this week. The positives that can be taken from the sale, however, were the few better superfine types. They were hard to quote in such small supply, buy they remain firm and keenly sought after. The passed in rate increased to a national total of just […]

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 […]
Comment The small selection of quality superfine wool this week attracted strong competition from Italian interests. In possibly the last such offering of the season, selected lots were extreme with buyers representing Italian weavers competing strongly. Despite another large national offering of just under 50,000 bales, the general market again held up very well. AWEX […]

Comment The market has performed exceptionally well under the pressure of the largest two week offering in more than a decade. The selection was extremely variable with a diverse range of environmental conditions conducive for variable wool qualities. From New Zealand we had the last of the catalogues to be offered in Melbourne for this […]
COMMENT The market was around a similar level, but competition was variable and influenced heavily by the quality of the lot offered. FLEECE Best style/spec 18.5 micron and finer up to 1% dearer. Some selected best 17.0/18.0 NM lots were very keenly sought after. Best 19.0 / 19.5 micron unchanged Best 20.0 / 21.5 micron […]
Comment Prices eased across the board on Tuesday following the strong performance last week. Leading into the sale, there wasn’t the trade confidence that we’d seen in the past couple of months. The negative sentiment was, however, short lived. Prices stabilised over the remaining two sale days. According to AWEX reports, it was the largest […]
COMMENT The market bounced back after yesterday’s correction. All descriptions more keenly sought after following the slightly better close in Fremantle yesterday. Prices firmed towards the close to finish at the highest point. FLEECE Selected choice superfine lots were extreme due to strong Italian interest on the specialty selection from Tasmania. All other descriptions 0.5/1.0% […]
