AUSTRALIAN WEEKLY MARKET REPORT
Comment
The market was dearer again, following on from the more positive tone last week. The finest and broadest merino types recorded the biggest gains. This would largely be a reflection of supply. There is still limited supply of fine and broad merinos with most of the selection fitting into the 18.5 / 20.0 – micron range. With the buyer activity yesterday focused strongly on securing quantity, the market premiums for quality were limited. All types and descriptions within a particular micron range sold within a narrow range of price. As a result, the low yields and high mid break lots sold with minimal discount.
