AUSTRALIAN WEEKLY MARKET REPORT

Comment

Less than enthusiastic trading this week saw the market in a downward cycle. We have seen evidence this week that when the EMI reaches approx.1370 and the USD price reaches 1000 cents per kg nervousness takes hold and the market retracts. Positives to take from the falling market are that RWS/NM/CM accredited wool did fall by as much and are being well supported. Increased volumes Nationally of RWS wool this week with approx. 2,000 bales on offer. We continue to work closely with wool brokers and wool producers to increase the volume of RWS accredited wool for our brand partners.

Forecast

A slow down in trading conditions and increased volumes on offer could see the market struggling to maintain these current levels. Expectation is for a slightly cheaper market, however with some grower resistance this may change.
