EASTERN AUSTRALIAN MARKET REPORT

Better specification, light fault types firm. Others a little cheaper in a large offering.

COMMENT

Australian dollar remains strong against the USD. Higher passed in rate overall but the clearance rate for NM declared lots appears better than the average.

FLEECE

All 16.5 micron and finer remain keenly sought after and tending dearer in limited supply.

17.0/21.5 better specification with light fault fully firm, others 0.5% easier.

SKIRTINGS

Better descriptions 18.0 micron and finer unchanged. All others, particularly the more faulty types, were up to 1% easier.
