Market slide halted

The Australian wool market has managed to halt its downward slide by the smallest of margins, with the AWEX Eastern Market Indicator gaining one cent for the week to close at 1,318c/kg.

The main driver in the market recording an overall increase was strong demand in the medium to broad Merino fleece types, although market results were varied between the three selling centres.

The Fremantle region was the strongest performer recording increases across all sectors, with individual Micron Price Guides (MPGs) in the West for Merino fleece climbing 10 ‑ 25 cents and further gains in the skirtings and oddments pushing the Western Indicator up by 17 cents for the week.

In Sydney, losses were recorded across all Merino fleece MPGs finer than 19.5 micron, with these Northern MPGs dropping by up to 25 cents.

This, combined with falls in the oddment and skirting sectors, pushed the Northern Indicator down by seven cents.

The Melbourne market was extremely varied depending on micron, with MPGs for 18.5 micron and finer falling by 9 ‑ 103 cents, while MPGs for 19.0 ‑ 21.0 micron climbed by 15 ‑ 55 cents.

The Southern indicator added nine cents for the week overall.

The Australian dollar (AUD) added over a full cent (1.03) compared to the US dollar (USD) since the previous week meaning when viewing the EMI in USD terms, the EMI gained 14 US cents for the week, an increase of 1.6 per cent (compared to the 0.08 per cent increase in AUD terms).
