COMMENT Market a little easier, especially LB fault (fleece 1.5/2.5%). FLEECE Best fleece with good specification, low VM and non mulesed or ceased mulesed, all firm unchanged. Other fleece descriptions, especially those with more than 1.5% VM, were 0.5 to 1% easier. SKIRTINGS Best lots in buyers favor, others 1% easier. OPEN TOP Unchanged.
Comment The Australian wool auction market has remained extremely resilient in recent weeks under the circumstances and this week was no exception. With 49,400 bales up for sale, almost 90% were sold to the trade with a value of $71.65 m. There is pressure mounting on vegetable matter. The outstanding season is resulting in higher […]

COMMENT Not much change in the market. Best fine keenly sought after. FLEECE Best fine very firm tending 1% dearer with NM/CM keenly sought by Italian interests. All other descriptions 0.5% easier. SKIRTINGS Generally par to 1% easier OPEN TOP A little harder to buy in a limited offering.
Comment There was little change overall in the general market but we certainly noticed fewer extreme prices in the superior fine sector. This is largely due to the higher percentage of RWS certified wool in the offering last week compered to this week. This resulted in less extreme prices on average for the best fine […]
COMMENT Melbourne sold in isolation. Not a lot of change overall. FLEECE Best light fault fleece tending just a touch dearer. Others, while a little irregular, closed firm. SKIRTINGS Better fine skirtings continue to be well supported and were 0.5% dearer. Others fully firm. OPEN TOP Fully firm
