Market closes 23 cents higher

With the Eastern Market Indicator (EMI) finishing the week 23 cents higher to closing at 1,215c/kg, the Australian wool market has continued its positive start to the 2025 calendar year.

Selling was buoyant from the opening lot on day, and it was apparent that the market was heading in a positive direction.

By the end of the day, individual Micron Price Guides (MPGs) across the country for Merino fleece had risen by 6 ‑ 41 cents, with only the 17‑micron MPG in the North resisting the trend to fall by a solitary cent.

The EMI added a healthy 15 cents overall for the day.

On the second day, only Sydney and Melbourne were in operation and the market generally continued to rise, predominantly in the medium to broad microns.

In the South, the 21.0‑micron MPG climbed to 1,449 cents, its highest point since the 10th of May 2023, and the EMI added another eight cents to now sit at its highest point since the 10th of January 2024.

The benchmark indicator has also now risen for four consecutive selling days.

Minimal currency movement since the close of the previous series meant that the market gains were also realised in US dollar terms, as the EMI added 18 US cents for the series to closing at 760 US cents.

This was the highest weekly rise in US cents since April last year.

Next week’s national offering is expected to increase, again buoyed by more sellers being attracted to the market.

There are currently 41,243 bales rostered in Sydney, Melbourne and Fremantle.
