VOORUITSIGTE

DIe versterking van die Rand teenoor die vernaamste geldeenhede, was die oorwegende rede vir die daling in die SA wolmark hierdie week. Wêreldekonomië behoort te stabiliseer met die Covid-19 entstof wat beskikbaar gestel is. Die Chinese Nuwejaarvieringe kan egter die mark moontlik sywaarts laat beweeg. Die versterking van wêreldekonomieë, kan egter ook 'n stabiliserende en versterkende effek op die wolmark, in die komende jaar tot  gevolg hê. Wol ontvang in die makelaars se store hierdie week, is 1.0% hoër 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. Sertifisering is 'n toekomsneiging wat gekom het om te bly en dit word weerspieël in die 30% plus van die aanbieding wat bestaan uit RWS gesertifiseerde wol. Skakel gerus met OVK om u by te staan in die sertifiseringsproses. Die volgende wolveiling is geskeduleer vir 27 Januarie 2021.

FORECAST

The strenthening of the Rand, compared to the main currencies, was the predominant reason for the decrease in the SA wool market this week. World economies should stabilise, with the Covid-19 vaccine which has been made available. The Chinese New year celebrations however, might possibly have a sideways movement effect on the market. The strengthening of global economies might have a stabilising and recovering effect on the wool market in the year ahead.  The receival of wool in the brokers’ stores this week is 1.0% higher compared to the same time of the previous season.

Sustainable certified (RWS) good quality Merino wool, again enjoyed good attention on the auction and saw healthy competition amongst buyers. Certification is a future trend that came to stay and that is reflected in the fact that 30% plus of the offering each week, consists of RWS certified wool. We invite farmers to contact OVK for assistance in the certification process. The next wool auction is scheduled for 27 January 2021.
