AUSTRALIAN WEEKLY MARKET REPORT - The Schneider Group

Comment

It was a positive week with prices across all types and descriptions remaining very firm or trending slightly upwards. This is despite a continuation of relatively poor trading conditions. Currency changes are therefore playing an important role and resulting in little movement from day to day in USD terms. Buyers are still favouring the wool clips with better yields as well as the clips certified to the RWS standard. These factors are both influencing competition and resulting in market premiums.

Forecast

We have only around 35,000 bales available nationally next week. This is likely to result in the continuation of the stable market being heavily influenced by this small supply.
