On the Australian market, the indicator remained unchanged. The Cape Wools All Wool Indicator weakened by 0,1%.
The favourable market maintained its momentum and strong demand for wool absorbed the very large quantity of wool on offer this week. Traders commented that the supply pressure had tempered demand as liquidity constraints were a very real limitation in financing the clip.
This week saw the Rand at R16,83 to the US dollar. The rand weakened by 2,2% against the US dollar compared with the average rate at the previous sale.
The Rand weakened against the Euro, trading at R18,41. The offering comprised of 15,525 bales of which 97,6% was sold. Major traders were Standard Wool SA (5 511), Lempriere SA (3 970), G Modiano SA (3 022), and Stucken & Co (1 248).
