EASTERN AUSTRALIAN MARKET REPORT

Market down. Uncertainty continues.

COMMENT

Only 6,000 bales between Sydney and Melbourne were eventually sold today as most growers opt out of selling in this confusion.

FLEECE

No doubt non mulesed (NM) types were least affected across all micron categories. General market is difficult to quote with such high passed in and withdrawn rates.

18.0 micron and finer generally 2% easier

18.5 / 19.5 micron 3% easier

20.0 / 21.5 micron 3 to 4% easier

 

SKIRTINGS

4 to 5% easier

OPEN TOP

Nominally 2 to 3% easier
