AUSTRALIAN WEEKLY MARKET REPORT

Comment

The auction has performed strongly in the penultimate sale for 2021. Under the circumstance of shipping deadlines for a pre-Christmas shipment having now passed and a strengthening Australian dollar, the market could have struggled to maintain this week. But, as has been the case for some time now, the market continued to sell in a very positive tone. All types and descriptions were a little dearer.

Forecast

42,000 bales are now catalogued for sale next week and expectations are that the market will continue around similar levels through to the close. With the EMI close to the 970 USD level, we expect demand from China to remain relatively stable next week before the three-week Christmas recess. Demand from Europe has also been consistent in recent weeks.
