Scheduled Australian Wool Auction Sales

AWI Commentary

Australian wool markets basically consolidated around the ruling levels this week at auction. Interest remained high for all wool types, with a surprising concentration of buyers attention shifting to the crossbred and not so surprising to the carding area once again. Merino fleece and skirtings were by no means neglected, but some price sensitivity was seen, particularly around the poorer and harder-to-place end of the selection. The AWEX EMI (Australian Wool Exchange- Eastern Market Indicator) slipped by a margin of 6ac clean/kg to close at 1812ac clean/kg, after setting a new daily record of 1820 on the opening day. It remains to be clear if that number will stand as an official record, as it was a nominal quoted EMI with just the Melbourne centre operating.
