VOORUITSIGTE

Ten spyte van die die Rand se versterking teenoor die vernaamste geldeenhede en die hernude vlaag van Covid-19 uitbrake in Europa, het die wolmark bo verwagting goed presteer op hierdie veiling. Wat wel 'n invloed op die mark in die kort tot medium termyn kan hê, is die Amerikaanse verkiesingsuitlae, wat bepalend kan wees vir toekomstige handelsbetrekkinge tussen die VSA en China. Wol ontvang in die makelaars se store hierdie week, is 0.2% laer vergeleke die ooreenstemmende tyd van die vorige seisoen.

Volhoubaar gesertifiseerde (RWS), goeie kwaliteit Merinowol, het weereens goeie aandag geniet op die veiling en gesorg vir gesonde kompetisie tussen kopers.  Produsente kan gerus kennis neem hiervan en ook aanvaar dat dit 'n toekomsneiging is wat gekom het om te bly. Skakel gerus met OVK om u by te staan in die sertifiseringsproses. Die volgende wolveiling is geskeduleer vir 11 November, waar sowat 11 020 bale aangebied sal word.

FORECAST

In spite of the strengthening of the Rand against the most important currencies as the renewed outbreaks of Covid-19 in Europe, the wool market performed above expectations on this auction. The elections in the USA could have a significant influence on the market in the short to medium terms though and could be determining on future trade relations between America and China. The receival of wool in the brokers’ stores this week is 0.2% lower, compared to the same time of the previous season.

Sustainable certified (RWS), good quality Merino wool, was in high demand on the auction and enjoyed healthy competition amongst the buyers. Producers have to take note of this and also accept that this is a future trend which has come to stay. We invite farmers to contact OVK for assistance in the certification process. The next wool auction is scheduled for 11 November where 11020 bales will be on offer.
