No movement for second straight week

For the second consecutive week, the AWEX Eastern Market Indicator (EMI) has recorded no movement to close at 1,342c/kg.

With only 37,431 bales presented due to no sale in Fremantle, the smaller offering attracted solid buyer support, with prices on offer for Merino fleece types generally in line with those of the previous week.

The only real holes evident in the market were for 17.0 ‑ 18.5 micron wools in the South, reflected in the individual Micron Price Guides (MPGs) in Melbourne falling by 5 ‑ 36 cents.

These falls were the driving force behind the three‑cent loss in the Southern indicator for the week.

In the North, the movements in Merino fleece MPGs ranged from ‑8 and +9 cents, as the three‑cent lift in the Northern indicator offset the loss in the South.

In a similar pattern to the previous sale, due to a weakening Australian dollar (the AUD dropped by a further 0.42 US cents since the last sale), the EMI lost ground when viewed in US dollar terms, dropping by 6 US cents to close at 926 US cents.

The oddment sector was the strongest performer for the week.

General rises in locks, stains and crutchings of 5 ‑ 20 cents, helped to push the two Merino Carding (MC) indicators up by an average of 12 cents.

Fremantle returns to the market next week, bolstering the national offering.

Currently, there is expected to be 39,192 bales on offer in Fremantle, Melbourne and Sydney (which is a designated Superfine Sale).
