Little market change
THE eastern market indicator (EMI) eased 1 cent per kilogram this week to close at 752c/kg.
Passed-in rates increased this week. Of the 61,870 bales offered, 14 per cent was passed-in.
Most wools eased, apart from superfine Merinos and cardings, which both received good support.
Southern region
Merino fleece wools of 19.5-micron and broader dipped 5-15c/kg, with the broader end most affected. Wools of 17.5-micron and finer jumped 20c/kg.
Better style, fine Merino skirtings strengthened, while wools with high vegetable matter shed about 20c/kg.
Crossbred fleece wools eased slightly.
Carding wools finally bounced back and actually climbed by about 20c/kg.
Sales will be held in Melbourne, Fremantle and Sydney next week, with 70,745 bales scheduled to go under the hammer.
The larger offering will certainly test the market.
