FLEECE All fleece within 5c of last week’s closing levels with a focus on higher yield and lower VM pushing these types dearer as the sale progressed. SKIRTINGS Light fault types more keenly sought after but on average, unchanged. OPEN […]
Comment Fluctuating currency markets resulted in an easing of prices across most descriptions. At the slightly reduced basis, the buying bench was altered a little but there were still some companies willing to consume the volume with the slight discount. This was the positive point. Although a little easier to buy, there was to confidence […]
Comment The market opened fully firm and remained that way all week. Only minor changes were recorded over the week.

This optimism flowed onto Wednesday’s auction. The smaller offering of European specification lines was not as affected. With only limited availability at this time of the […]
