WOLMARKVERSLAG / WOOL MARKET REPORT CV31_2020

MARKANALISE

Die 31ste wolveiling van die 2019/20 seisoen het hierdie week op 1 Julie plaasgevind en die Cape Wools Merino aanwyser het met 1.3% gestyg teenoor die vorige veiling en teen 'n skoonprys van R144.36/kg gesluit. Die Australiese EMI het met 0.4% versterk. Die Rand het met 0.5% sterker verhandel teen die VSA Dollar en 1.1% sterker teen die Euro, ooreenstemmend dieselfde tyd van die vorige veiling. Goeie kwaliteit medium lengte Merinowol het hierdie week goed vertoon en het veral gesorg vir goeie mededinging onder kopershuise. Hierdie tipes het dan ook beter presteer as die gemiddeld en die mark tot positiewe vlakke laat beweeg, terwyl korter tipes sywaarts verhandel het. Die grootste styging van 2.7% was in die 22 mikron segment. Standard Wool SA het op hierdie veiling die grootste hoeveelheid bale gekoop, gevolg deur Modiano, Lempriere SA en Stucken. Daar is in totaal 7 702 bale aangebied, waarvan 83.7% verkoop is. Op die OVK veiling is 1 885 bale aangebied waarvan 90.7% verkoop is. Die hoogste prys op die OVK veiling van R150.00/kg, is behaal vir ‘n 3 baal lot CH van 16.5 mikron, uit die skeersel van Bibbey Boerdery Trust van Frankfort. Die koper was Standard Wool. Baie geluk met die prestasie!

VOORUITSIGTE

Hierdie week het die SA wolmark effens hoër verhandel, vergeleke die vorige week en ten spyte van ‘n sterker Rand, steeds beter presteer as die Australiese mark. Wol ontvang in die makelaars se store is 14.40% meer as die ooreenstemmende tyd van die vorige seisoen. Dit is inderdaad positiewe nuus vir die bedryf. Vandeesweek se veiling het weereens getoon dat volhoubaar gesertifiseerde wol steeds goeie aandag onder kopers geniet. Produsente kan dus gerus kennis neem hiervan. Skakel met OVK om u by te staan in die sertifiseringsproses. Die volgende wolveiling is geskeduleer vir 8 Julie 2020 waar sowat 8 455 bale aangebied sal word.

FORECAST

This week saw the SA wool market traded somewhat higher compared to the previous week and, in spite of a stronger Rand, still performed better than the Australian market. The receival of wool in the brokers’ stores increased by 14.40% compared to the same time of the previous season. This is indeed positive news for the industry. This week’s auction showed that sustainable certified wool still enjoys good attention amongst buyers. Producers have to take note of this and we invite farmers to contact OVK for assistance in the certification process. The next auction is scheduled for 8 July 2020 where there will be about 8 455 bales on offer. This report by Heinrich Victor, Manager Special Services Fibre – OVK.
