AUSTRALIAN WEEKLY MARKET REPORT - The Schneider Group

Comment

There were selected fine and superfine wool clips that attracted the attention of Italian interests this week. The focus was on wool quality, and it was encouraging to see that there was more than certification that was driving the demand for these clips. Light fault, higher yielding fleece lines are still selling above the market average. It is worth while preparing a wool clip to the best industry standard in order to attract the most competition. This is most important during this period. Wool clips that have been prepared poorly as a result of a cost saving at shearing, are then losing money at the point of sale. Well prepared NM clips are also more keenly sort after when compared to mulesed clips of similar quality.

Forecast

It will be a small national offering next week with the absence of Fremantle. Around 23,000 bales in total will be offered. This will likely result in good support around current levels. We also have just the two sale weeks remaining prior to the mid-year recess.
