Comment The market was expected to continue to ease but the weaker Australian Dollar against the USD helped to stabilise the market. Prices were generally firm on Tuesday but improved on Wednesday, no doubt assisted by the more favorable currency exchange rate. The interest on Wednesday was more focused on fine and few superfine merino […]
