Comment The focus this week for us was the quality Tasmanian selection sold on Tuesday in Melbourne. Now that the superfine Newcastle sales are no longer, this was the largest quality superfine offering for a single sale day this season. Some were concerned with what effect this might have on the market under the current […]

Those more suited to the Italian weaver market. Chinese interests […]

Comment The wool market closed on a much more positive tone after uncertainty on day one due to confusion on trade with China was sparked by the outbreak of the Coronavirus. Large grower withdrawals and passed in rates eventually helped to lead a recovery. There remains enough short term demand to cover the reduced volume […]
Market cheaper. Very strong grower resistance to sell. This encouraged a better market performance than what could potentially have materialised. COMMENT Italian types remain keenly sought after. Some better lots with NM status tending slight dearer. Approximately half of the fleece offering was passed in as they failed to meet grower asking prices. FLEECE Best […]
Comment Following last week’s dramatic opening and expectations of a 60,000-bale sale, the result this week was very encouraging. The opening prices in Melbourne settled at values ex Fremantle from the Thursday prior. Sydney prices more or less fell into line with that level and stayed around that basis over both sale days. The better […]
