Comment Prices eased across all categories this week. The better specification merino types between 17.5 and 19.5 were the least affected. With a large portion of the clip now tending to be over long, buyers are looking to the shorter, more even length types that are often less than 12 months growth, in order to […]
Comment Prices eased in local currency this week after the very positive performance last week. The benchmark AWEX EMI was only 3c lower in USD terms with the Australian dollar strengthening against the USD. The ultrafine market was strong in a better quality and larger offering. 14.5 to 15.5 micron were particularly well sought after. […]

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 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 […]
