Every week, Quality Wool Managing Director Mark Dyson brings you his summary of the week in wool.
The Australian wool market has recorded a small overall loss this series, with the AWEX Eastern Market Indicator (EMI) dropping seven cents to close at 1,131c/kg.
Sale results were mixed across microns, wool types and regions, beginning with Merino fleece Micron Price Guide (MPG) movements across the country which ranged from +6 to ‑38 cents.
Over the past 18 selling days, only once has the EMI recorded a double‑digit movement, on the 9th of October when the EMI rose by 23 cents.
If we compare this selling series to the corresponding sale of last season (Week 17), we get a good indication of how little the market has moved over the previous 12 months.
The EMI was trading at 1,139 cents, just eight cents higher than the current level of the EMI.
The MPGs for Merino fleece across in the Southern region ranged from a high of 1,809 cents for 16.5 micron, down to 1,260 cents for 22.0 micron.
The MPGs today range from a high of 1,775 cents (16.5 micron), a drop of 34 cents compared to last year, down to 1236 cents (22 micron), a fall of 24 cents.
One point of the market showing significant improvement is the EMI when viewed in US dollar (USD) terms, which due to currency movement has added 28 US cents over the previous 12 months to currently sit at 755 US cents.
Next week’s offering is expected to rise, and there are currently 41,535 bales rostered for sale in Sydney, Melbourne and Fremantle.
