AUSTRALIAN WEEKLY MARKET REPORT - The Schneider Group

Comment

The wild and fluctuating trend of the market has continued this week with significant market increases across all merino fleece types. The small supply has no doubt influenced some who need shipment prior to the Christmas recess. It was hard to follow and prices settled around similar levels on the second day of the sale.

Forecast

It’s difficult to see this week’s trend continuing at the same rate. Prices settled on Wednesday and as we move closer to Christmas, and the inevitability that we will see slightly more wool on the market, will both help to ease some of the immediate market pressure. No doubt, however, the current volatility will continue in the medium term.
