Every week, Quality Wool Managing Director Mark Dyson brings you his summary of the week in wool.
The Australian wool market has closed out the 2023 calendar year strongly, recording a second successive increase.
On the first day of selling buyer competition was strong, pushing prices progressively higher for the day.
The standouts for the day were the Merino fleece types, with individual Micron Price Guides (MPGs) for 16.
This was the largest daily rise in the EMI since the 5th of July, where a 21‑cent rise was also recorded.
In USD terms, the 20 US cent rise was the largest daily rise in the EMI since the 14th of December last year.
The second day was almost a carbon copy of the first, with further large increases in fine Merino fleece types helping to push the EMI up by another 19 cents.
The market finished softly on the final day in a stand‑alone Melbourne offering, with the EMI giving back five cents of the previous days rises.
The EMI closed the week and the year at 1,212 cents, a weekly increase of 35 cents.
Due to gains in the Australian dollar, when viewed in USD terms the gain in the EMI was greater, 44 US cents.
Sales now head into the annual three‑week Christmas recess.
Sales will resume in Week 28 (week beginning Monday the 8th of January).
With wool accumulating during the break, this is traditionally one of the larger sales on the calendar, last year over 50,000 bales were offered.
