COMMENT. Market very firm. Good wool keenly sought after. FLEECE Better specification, light fault tending slightly dearer. All good Chinese specification with VM 1, very firm B fault fleece 1% dearer. SKIRTINGS Better skirtings keenly sought after and tending slight dearer, sellers favour. OPEN TOP Fully firm.
Comment The most significant improvement in the market this week came via increased competition from Italian interests on the best wools 18.0 micron and finer. In commercial quantities, the most important microns are 16.0 to 18.0 micron, and we had these wools up to 2.6% dearer over the week. It was encouraging to see stronger […]
COMMENT. A better overall market tone today. FLEECE Best, stylish fleece 2 to 3% dearer in Sydney in a nice selection. All other good specification fully firm. SKIRTINGS Unchanged. OPEN TOP Firm.
Comment The was not a lot of movement in the market this week. Overall, just a slight softening of prices, on average. The better European specification types were again selling better than the standard Chinese types. The exception being those wools carrying more VM, they are still in better demand for Chinse mills. For this […]
COMMENT. Not much change on average. Good quality certified types from 14.0 to 31 micron are selling well. FLEECE 18.0 micron and finer fully firm. 18.5 / 21.0 micron ex Sydney unchanged, ex Melbourne slightly easier due to higher volume of predominantly Chinese specification. SKIRTINGS Generally firm for good types. OPEN TOP Unchanged.

All types traded at around 1% to 1.5% dearer over the week with the exception of the small and varied offering sub 15.0 micron. These types […]
Comment There was not a lot of change in the market this week, but it was certainly accentuated by movements in the value of currencies following the US Federal election. Tuesday, with Sydney selling in isolation, showed some modest gains across the board in a small and varied offering. Not a lot of change followed […]
COMMENT. A generally positive day with Sydney selling in isolation in the eastern states. FLEECE All descriptions up to 1% dearer with the finer end most affected. SKIRTINGS All skirtings around the same level of last week. OPEN TOP All descriptions unchanged in a nominal offering.
Comment There was not a lot of change in the general market this week. The Sydney values settled a little on the first day following a more positive result compared to Melbourne to close out the previous week. Melbourne results, on the other hand, were a little better overall. The selection is particularly good at […]
Comment It was another strong performance for the wool market this week. All types and descriptions were positive. There was some variability in the superfine end, but this is largely affected by small volume and the variable quality on offer. The market stimulus has largely been instigated by Chinese activity but is now supported by […]
