WOLMARKVERSLAG / WOOL MARKET REPORT CV22_2020

MARKANALISE

Die 22ste wolveiling van die 2019/20 seisoen hierdie week plaasgevind en die Cape Wools aanwyser het met 3.1% en 325 punte laer verhandel en teen 'n skoonprys van R179.09/kg gesluit. Die Australiese EMI het met 1.2% verswak. Die Rand het hierdie week 0.2% swakker verhandel teen die VSA Doller en 2.2% swakker teen die Euro, ooreenstemmend dieselfde tyd van die vorige veiling. Laer skoonopbrengste van Merino wolle het bygedra tot die afname in prys die week, asook fynwol wat onder druk verkeer het te midde van markonsekerheid. Wol in die medium mikron segment het egter beter as die markgemiddelde presteer. Die grootste daling hierdie week van 5.1%, was in die 18 en 19 mikron segment. Standard Wool het hierdie week die grootste hoeveelheid bale gekoop, gevolg deur Modiano, Lempriere SA en Stucken.

Daar is in totaal 12 562 bale aangebied, waarvan 95.2% verkoop is. Op die OVK veiling is 3 121 bale aangebied waarvan 89.7% verkoop is. Die hoogste prys op die OVK veiling van R151.00/kg is behaal vir ‘n 2 baal lot BMY van 17.5 mikron, uit die skeersel van JR De Villiers, van Aliwal-Noord. Die koper was Standard Wool. Baie geluk met die prestasie!

Vooruitsigte

Hierdie week het die SA wolmark verswak, in vergelyking met die vorige veiling. Die sywaartse beweging van die Rand het effens bygedra tot die daling in die mark, maar die hoofsaaklike rede blyk die onsekerheid in die algemeen in wêreldmarkte te wees. Tot op hede is daar egter nog geen direkte verband in die markbeweging wat direk gekoppel kan word aan die Coronavirus situasie wêreldwyd nie. Die volume wol ontvang in die makelaars se store hierdie week, is in totaal 8.6% hoër as die ooreenstemmende week van die vorige seisoen.

Volhoubaarheid en naspeurbaarheid is baie belangrike aspekte waaraan produsente ernstige oorweging sal moet skenk, ten einde internasionale mededinging in die toekoms te verseker. Verbruikers vra nie net meer nie, maar vereis dat die verskaffing van vesel vry is van twyfelagtige praktyke. OVK is inderdaad gerat om u by te staan in die voldoening aan standaarde en dus, die sertifisering van RWS (Responsible Wool Standards) en ook eersdaags RMS (Responsible Mohair Standards). Die volgende wolveiling is geskeduleer vir 12 Maart 2020 waar sowat 8 827 bale aangebied sal word. Hierdie verslag deur Heinrich Victor, Bemarkingsbestuurder Vesel – OVK

MARKET ANALYSES

The 22nd wool auction of the 2019/20 season took place this week and the Cape Wools Merino indicator traded 3.1% and 325 points lower and closed at a clean price of R179.09/kg. The Australian EMI decreased by 1.2%. The Rand traded 0.2% weaker against the US Dollar this week and 2.2% weaker against the Euro, compared to the previous sale. Lower clean yield of Merino wools contributed to the price decrease this week, as well as fine wool which experienced downward pressure amidst market uncertainties. Wool in the medium micron segments performed better than the average though. The largest decrease this week of 5.1% was in the 18 and 19 micron segments. Standard Wool was the major buyer on the auction this week, followed by Modiano,  Lempriere SA and Stucken.

A total of 12 562 bales were on offer, of which 95.2% was sold. On the OVK auction 3 121 bales were offered of which 89.7% was sold. The highest price on the OVK auction, of R151.00/kg was achieved for a 2 bale lot BMY of 17.5 microns, from the clip of JR De Villiers from Aliwal North. The buyer was Standard Wool. Congratulations on the achievement!                

FORECAST

This week the SA wool market decreased, compared to the previous auction. The sideways movement of the Rand contributed to the decrease in the market, but mainly the uncertainty in global markets in general. Up until now though, there is no direct connection in the market movement which can be directly linked to the Corona virus situation worldwide. The volumes of wool received in the stores of the brokers this week, are accumulatively 8.6% higher compared to the same week of the previous season, which is positive news.

Sustainability and traceability are very important aspects which producers will have to give serious consideration to, in order to ensure international competition in future.
