Die Australiese EMI het met 11.5% verswak. Die Rand het met 2.2% swakker verhandel teen die VSA Dollar en 6.7% verswak teen die Euro, ooreenstemmend dieselfde tyd van die vorige veiling. Die grootste daling van 6.3% was in die 21 mikron segment. Standard Wool SA het op hierdie veiling die grootste hoeveelheid bale gekoop, gevolg deur Lempriere SA, G. Modiano SA en Stucken & Co.

Die hoogste prys op die OVK veiling van R146.00/kg, is behaal vir ‘n 1 baal lot BFY van 16.3 mikron, uit die skeersel van JP de Villiers, Bredasdorp. Die koper was Standard Wool SA.

VOORUITSIGTE

Hierdie week het die SA wolmark laer verhandel, in vergelyking met die laaste veiling van die vorige seisoen, maar het steeds heelwat beter presteer as die Australiese mark. Hierdie daling kan toegeskryf word aan die voortdurende onsekerheid in wêreldmarkte, wat nog geruime tyd kan voortduur. Wol ontvang in die makelaars se store hierdie week, is 40.5% laer as die ooreenstemmende tyd van die vorige seisoen. 

Vandeesweek se veiling het weereens getoon dat volhoubaar gesertifiseerde wol steeds goeie aandag geniet en het gesorg vir gesonde kompetisie onder kopers. Produsente kan dus gerus kennis neem hiervan. Skakel gerus met OVK om u by te staan in die sertifiseringsproses. Die volgende veiling is geskeduleer vir 19 Augustus, waar sowat 6893 bale aangebied sal word. Hierdie verslag deur Heinrich Victor, Bestuurder Spesiale Dienste  Vesel – OVK.

FORECAST

This week saw the SA wool market traded lower, compared to the last auction of the previous season, but still performed significantly better than the Australian market. This decrease can be attributed to the continuing uncertainty in global markets, which could last for some time to come. The receival of wool in the brokers’ stores this week is 40.5% lower, compared to the same time of the previous season.

This week’s auction showed again that sustainable certified wool still enjoys good attention and attracted healthy competition amongst buyers. Producers have to take note of this. We invite farmers to contact OVK for assistance in the certification process. The next sale is scheduled for the 19th of August, where 6893 bales will be on offer.
