Scheduled Australian Wool Auction Sales
AWI Commentary
Another successful week at Australian wool auctions for wool grower sellers. All types and descriptions were dearer from the start of selling. By week’s end, general gains of around 2% were recorded on most Merino wools, but the largest gains and strongest competition centred upon crossbred wool types which saw values appreciate by 6%.
Since trading solidly around the 1200ac mark for May and June, the Eastern Australian Market Indicator EMI been steadily grinding away for the past two months but thankfully to a dearer trend. This week saw somewhat of an acceleration to that trend with a very healthy 2.4% or 30ac clean kg added to that leading indicator of the overall state of the wool pricing. The EMI now sits at the highest weekly closing basis since the beginning of May in 2023.
The trade feedback is that the environment and conditions of trade are “starting to feel right again” This applies to both prices and sentiment. Most participants are comparing the current state of confidence back to where we were in March 2025 before the United States government tariff decisions impacted immediately and heavily upon global economic trade.
Perhaps the larger impact - than the seemingly improving demand side - is the supply factor. Traders and indent buyers are anecdotally reporting the lowering supply story is beginning to take effect with mills and overseas interests. The consensus is “everyone is behind in their purchasing” and there “just won’t be enough wool to go around if mills want to run anywhere near their optimum capacity.”
Next week sees just a touch over 28,000 bales up for sale.
