Comment The was not a lot of movement in the market this week. Overall, just a slight softening of prices, on average. The better European specification types were again selling better than the standard Chinese types. The exception being those wools carrying more VM, they are still in better demand for Chinse mills. For this […]
COMMENT. Not much change on average. Good quality certified types from 14.0 to 31 micron are selling well. FLEECE 18.0 micron and finer fully firm. 18.5 / 21.0 micron ex Sydney unchanged, ex Melbourne slightly easier due to higher volume of predominantly Chinese specification. SKIRTINGS Generally firm for good types. OPEN TOP Unchanged.
Comment Currency exchange rate variations following the recent US federal election have had a strong influence on the market this week. The Australian dollar was lower against the Greenback. All types traded at around 1% to 1.5% dearer over the week with the exception of the small and varied offering sub 15.0 micron. These types […]
Comment There was not a lot of change in the market this week, but it was certainly accentuated by movements in the value of currencies following the US Federal election. Tuesday, with Sydney selling in isolation, showed some modest gains across the board in a small and varied offering. Not a lot of change followed […]
COMMENT. A generally positive day with Sydney selling in isolation in the eastern states. FLEECE All descriptions up to 1% dearer with the finer end most affected. SKIRTINGS All skirtings around the same level of last week. OPEN TOP All descriptions unchanged in a nominal offering.
Comment There was not a lot of change in the general market this week. The Sydney values settled a little on the first day following a more positive result compared to Melbourne to close out the previous week. Melbourne results, on the other hand, were a little better overall. The selection is particularly good at […]
Comment It was another strong performance for the wool market this week. All types and descriptions were positive. There was some variability in the superfine end, but this is largely affected by small volume and the variable quality on offer. The market stimulus has largely been instigated by Chinese activity but is now supported by […]
COMMENT. Market strength continues. Sydney sold in isolation and all types were approximately 1% dearer again. Better specification, low VM most affected. FLEECE 1% dearer with 19.0 micron and finer, better specification, most affected. SKIRTINGS A full 1% dearer, finest and best types most affected. OPEN TOP Generally, very firm.
COMMENT. A generally more positive market tone across all types. Sydney and Melbourne quotes move more in line. The Melbourne market was a little dearer than Sydney today. FLEECE All better specification 16.0 to 18.0 micron a full 1% dearer with Italian interests dominating. 17.5 micron most affected. All other descriptions par to 0.5% dearer […]
Comment Unexpectedly the market closed in positive territory. Amidst the lack of demand we saw a shining light in the sub 15 micron wools attract keen competition with significant price incentives. Day 2 this week provided the market with an excellent style selection including high quality certified wool which the market has been starved of […]
