AUSTRALIAN WEEKLY MARKET REPORT
Comment
Sales have finished on a positive note. The momentum created in recent weeks has continued with stronger demand and a wider range of buyers competing for a larger volume of wool. All in all, it was a very positive close for the pending three-week recess from auctions. The demand was driven primarily by Chinese interests with those types suitable for the European market less impacted. They remained generally very firm for the week.
