AUSTRALIAN WEEKLY MARKET REPORT - The Schneider Group

Comment

The more positive market sentiment has continued with increases around 1 to 2% across all types for the week. This was a more mature market reaction and one that is more likely to be maintained. What was most evident in the auction room, was the more confident approach to buying from a wider range of exporters. The mood was noticeably more positive, and this should not be underestimated.

Forecast

We have just the two remaining sales before the annual Christmas recess. It’s been a turbulent couple of months for the wool market, but this should be seen as a positive more than a negative. It’s considerably better this way than the flat market that we saw for much of the first half of 2025. In whatever way, the volatility can only be a result of changing dynamics in supply and demand.
