Comment The market followed on from last week’s strong finish with all description from 17.0 micron to 32.0 micron stronger over the week. The strongest gains were on the more traditional “European types” for 17.0 to 18.5 micron. The Australian dollar continues to slide against the USD, maybe not helping the market as much as […]
Comment We noticed a much-improved market tone on Thursday. In our opinion, all types were very firm from 16.5 to 22.0 micron and a significant improvement on the market performance in recent weeks. Time will tell if this trend is to continue next week but with smaller volumes available for sale, hopefully this market sentiment […]
COMMENT A much better market tone today. FLEECE All descriptions fully firm from 16.5 to 21.5 micron with the odd pocket a touch dearer. SKIRTINGS All descriptions 0.5 to 1% dearer. OPEN TOP 0.5% dearer.
Comment The wool market is waiting for some direction with little confidence amongst the traders while we work our way through this difficult period. It’s often that September is a month of instability and the fine wool, coming from historical highs, is feeling the greatest impact. There does seem to be some value around and […]

Comment Buyer interest was again around 19.5 and 21.0 micron with the Chinese market focusing in this area. Currency movement including Chinese Renminbi, cautious demand, aggressive selling prices and a relative stable market for 19.0 micro and broader have all made for a difficult trading period in recent weeks. History will have a few a […]

FLEECE Spinners 18.0 micron and finer unchanged Best to good topmaking 18.5 micron and finer 1 to 2% easier Average types with Chinese specification 19.0 and finer unchanged All 19.5 micron and broader 1% dearer, finishing stronger as the sale progressed.

Comment There wasn’t much change in the market this week. Chinese interest remains, but during this period of the season it’s usually more subdued. Buyers were very price conscious earlier in the sale. We expect prices to move within this narrow range, subject to currency movement, for the short term. Traders are indicating that demand […]
