Market eases as dollar rises

THE eastern market indicator fell slightly this week to close at 666 cents per kilogram – a fall of 6c/kg.

Passed-in rates closed at 10.6 per cent.

Although prices were generally subdued, New Zealand recorded its best clearance yet, with only 7pc of the offering passed in. This was a very good result considering the large offering.

Southern region

Most Merino fleece types fell by about 10c/kg. Merino skirtings also dipped 5-10c/kg and crossbred wools decreased by about 5c/kg.

Cardings weakened slightly, again towards the end of sales.

Next week’s offerings will again be held in Melbourne, Sydney and Fremantle, with a total of 61,648 bales rostered.
