AUSTRALIAN WEEKLY MARKET REPORT - The Schneider Group

Comment

Sales have opened for the new season with, as expected, not much change. The result on the opening day was better than expected with the strength of the AUD against the USD. Prices were dearer in US values. This slowed things down a little on Wednesday. Prices did rally a little towards the end of the sale, a result of the small quantities on offer. What was noticeable, was the few selected stylish superfine clips that were offered. They closed dearer on Thursday with Italian interests active.

Forecast

The better close to the market on Wednesday should help stability in prices leading into next week. Despite this, trading activity remains slow. However, all buyers and traders are actively picking up some bales within the wide range of types on offer with a very cautious approach to price. Currency exchange rates will again be closely monitored over the coming days.
