Die Cape Wools aanwyser het met 1.6% en 231 punte swakker verhandel en teen 'n skoonprys van R142.72/kg gesluit. Die Australiese EMI het met 1.3% versterk. Die Rand het 3.7% sterker verhandel teen die VSA Dollar, vergeleke met die vorige week en die eerste gedeelte van die veiling. Die aanbieding het hoofsaaklik uit medium lengtes wol bestaan, met weinig kort lengtes wol op die veiling. Die beter tipes Merinowol het goed presteer, met meer as 90% van die aanbod wat verkoop het. Die grootste daling, van 5.4%, was in die 22.5 mikron segment. Standard Wool het op hierdie veiling die grootste hoeveelheid bale gekoop, gevolg deur Lempriere SA, Stucken en Modiano. Daar is in totaal 5,637 bale aangebied, waarvan 85.5% verkoop is. Op die OVK veiling is 1,049 bale aangebied waarvan 83.4% verkoop is. Die hoogste prys op die OVK veiling van R133.00/kg is behaal vir ‘n 1 baal lot BH van 16.5 mikron, uit die skeersel van Majupa Boerdery BK van Riversdale. Die koper was Stucken. Baie geluk met die prestasie!

VOORUITSIGTE

Die sterker wisselkoers van die Rand teenoor die VSA Dollar is een van die grootste faktore in die daling van die huidige wolprys. Beperkte aankope uit Eurpoa en China dra ook hiertoe by en strem internasionale wolpryse. Wol ontvang in die makelaars se store hierdie week, is 2.25% meer as die ooreenstemmende tyd van die vorige seisoen. Dit is goeie nuus vir die bedryf en toon dat produsente weer begin wol lewer het na die vlak 5 inperkingsperiode wat einde April verstryk het. Die volgende veiling is geskeduleer vir 10 Junie 2020, en die beplande aantal bale wat aangebied word, word beperk tot ongeveer 7,500 bale.

Die datum van die sluitingsveiling vir die 2019/20 seisoen se laaste wolontvangste is oor drie weke, naamlik 17 Junie 2020. Hierdie verslag deur Pierre de Lange, Bemarkingsbestuurder: Wol.

FORECAST

The strengthening of the Rand against the US Dollar is currently the biggest contributors in the decrease in wool prices. A decrease in demand from Europe and China also contributes to weaker international wool prices. The receival of wool in the brokers’ stores this week increased by 2.25% compared to the same period of the previous season. This is positive news for the industry and shows that producers have started to deliver wool after the termination of level 5 of the lockdown period at the end of April.  The next auction is scheduled for 10 June 2020, with the number of bales on offer limited to approximately 7,500.

The date of receiving wool for the final auction for the 2019/20 wool season is in three weeks’ time, being 17 June 2020.   This report by Pierre de Lange, Wool Marketing Manager.
