Market kicks-off on positive note
THE first sale of the new year brought some positive news
for the wool industry, with a slight improvement in prices.
The eastern market indicator gained 3 cents per kilogram to
close at 746c/kg.
Most interest was for 23-25 micron Merino fleece types, where
price increases of up to 15c/kg were recorded.
Passed-in rates were just under 10 per cent.
Merino fleece remained unchanged apart from the 23-25 micron
category and 21 micron types, which dropped 5c/kg.
Merino pieces and bellies eased slightly. Crossbred wools
were very firm and gained up to 5c/kg in the 30 micron range.
Cardings also increased by 5c/kg.
Sales will be held in Melbourne and Sydney next week, with
55,717 bales on offer.
The market is expected to hold firm.
