WOLMARKVERSLAG / WOOL MARKET REPORT CV24_2020

MARKANALISE

Die 24ste wolveiling van die 2019/20 seisoen hierdie week plaasgevind en die Cape Wools aanwyser het met 12.5% en 2220 punte laer verhandel en teen 'n skoonprys van R155.69/kg gesluit. Die Australiese EMI het met 5.5% verswak. Die Rand het hierdie week 5.6% swakker verhandel teen die VSA Doller en 1.7% swakker teen die Euro, ooreenstemmend dieselfde tyd van die vorige veiling. Die mark het die week onder die druk van die voortslepende globale Koronavirus-krisis gebuig, met 'n derde van die totale wol op aanbieding wat Woensdag onttrek is. 'n Verbetering is wel later op Donderdag ervaar. Die grootste daling hierdie week van 16.4%, was in die 19.5 mikron segment. Standard Wool het hierdie week die grootste hoeveelheid bale gekoop, gevolg deur Modiano, Lempriere SA en Tianyu SA. Daar is in totaal 10180 bale aangebied, waarvan 51.4% verkoop is. Op die OVK veiling is 1619 bale aangebied waarvan 59.1% verkoop is. Die hoogste prys op die OVK veiling van R125.50/kg is behaal vir ‘n 2 baal lot CL van 16.4 mikron, uit die skeersel van AH Geldenhuis, van Richmond Noordkaap. Die koper was Standard Wool. Baie geluk met die prestasie!

VOORUITSIGTE

Hierdie week het die SA wolmark skerp verswak, in vergelyking met die vorige veiling. Die verdere verswakking van die Rand het die plaaslike mark effens beskerm teen ‘n selfs groter daling. Die wolmark volg nou die skerp daling van markte wêreldwyd na, wat te wyte is aan die Koronavirus-uitbraak wat nou as globale pandemie verklaar is. Die volume wol ontvang in die makelaars se store hierdie week, is in totaal 5.7% hoër as die ooreenstemmende week van die vorige seisoen, maar ‘n daling teenoor verlede week. Ons nooi produsente steeds om die OVK veselkantoor in Port Elizabeth te skakel indien voorskotte op vesel gelewer, of produksielenings verlang word, of u Tegniese Veldbeampte vir meer inligting. Vind ook meer uit oor die opwindende nuwe kommissiestruktuur van OVK. Vir meer inligting kan die OVK webtuiste ook gerus besoek word.

OVK verbind hom steeds tot die beste diens en ondersteuning aan ons produsente in goeie, sowel as moeilike tye.

Congratulations on the achievement!

FORECAST

This week saw a sharp decrease in the SA wool market, compared to the previous auction. The weakening of the Rand protected the local market somewhat against a larger decrease. The wool market is now following the downward trend of world markets, due to the Corona virus outbreak which was recently declared as a global pandemic. The volumes of wool received in the stores of the brokers this week, are accumulatively 5.7% higher compared to the same week of the previous season, but a decrease compared to last week.
