Largest weekly rise in 18 months

With 40,616 bales offered in the largest sale for four months, the Australian wool market experienced a boost this week with the AWEX Eastern Market Indicator (EMI) gaining 54 cents to close at 1,278c/kg (the largest weekly rise in 18 months).

It was initially a cautious start on Tuesday at the East coast markets but as the day progressed, prices continued to climb, accelerating further at a late‑selling Fremantle market.

Values in the Western Australian market closed higher than the Eastern auctions, which later proved to be a significant barometer to the direction of the market in the coming days.

The EMI added 12 cents for the day, with the strong buyer sentiment and firming pattern continuing into the following day resulting in MPG increases ranging from 18 ‑ 85 cents and pushing the EMI to a 32‑cent increase, its largest daily rise in 14 months.

Thursday continued the theme with only Melbourne in operation and New Zealand catalogue reduced the availability of Australian wool, assisting with additional price increases of 5 ‑ 54 cents.

The market passed the billion‑dollar turnover milestone this week, taking one week longer than in the previous season.

Next week will be the final sale before the annual three‑week Christmas recess, with 49,693 bales expected to be offered in three centres (the largest sale for this season).

Melbourne will again sell over three days to accommodate its large catalogue.
