AUSTRALIAN WEEKLY MARKET REPORT - The Schneider Group

Comment

The market opened strongly on the back of favorable currency exchange rates and continue on from there. The limited supply in terms of quality and quantity is keeping buyers and traders on edge. Chinese topmakers, through their agents in Australia, continue to dominate the market. RWS premiums continue to grow with the Chinese sector now the leading buyer of these certified wools. Often, quality is not as important as the RWS certificate that comes with it.
