AUSTRALIAN WEEKLY MARKET REPORT

Comment

There was a clear distinction between the sale result of the better types when compared to the more inferior. No doubt as the market remains in an easing trend, that the appetite for inferior wool types is not good. Any wool with good specification was more keenly sort after while those with low strength, low yields or high mid breaks in particular, were irregular and cheaper. We did see a few ultra fine bales, not particularly good in terms of quality, that sold well. That was a good result for these growers in an otherwise fairly lacklustre market.

Forecast

The market seems almost in a holding pattern awaiting the recess. We have only the two sale weeks remaining and growers in recent weeks have been more inclined to pass wool in if it fails to meet pre-sale expectations.
