AWI Commentary
Minimal change to the leading indicator (EMI) was recorded this week at Australian wool auctions, but large movements occurred across the type range. The market generally defied the stronger AUD v USD and in USD terms, the EMI gained 1.3% in value, perhaps signalling underlying demand?
Pre sale tone of exporter traders remained subdued and somewhat lacking in confidence. Reports of new business were few and far between. This sluggish trading environment was later evidenced by the drift in prices that occurred across a large percentage of the Merino offering.
The highlight of the selling week was the crossbred wool types which were highly sought and a general 15 to 25ac dearer. Mid micron Merino wools drifted downward 15ac whilst wools finer than 18micron and broader than 20micron had gains of 5 to 15ac. Carding types appreciated 5ac.
Buying in the Merino sector was again dominated by the largest China top makers alongside the major trader, but all other type segments were the domain of the traders.
29,000 bales will be offer at all centres next week.
