MARKANALISE

Die 13de wolveiling van die 2020/21 wolseisoen het hierdie week, op 11 November plaasgevind. Die Cape Wools Merino aanwyser het met 7.4% gedaal teenoor die vorige veiling en teen 'n skoonprys van R145.56/kg gesluit. Die Australiese EMI het met 2.8% verswak teenoor die vorige veiling. Die Rand het, ooreenstemmende tyd van die vorige veiling, 3.7% sterker verhandel teen die VSA Dollar en 2.8% versterk teenoor die Euro. Die grootste daling van 14.4%, was in die 22.5 mikron segment.

Op die OVK veiling is 3005 bale aangebied waarvan 94.0% verkoop is. Die hoogste prys op die OVK veiling, van R155.00/kg, is behaal vir ‘n 2 baal lot CH van 16.2 mikron, uit die skeersel van die Bibbey Boerdery, Frankfort. Die koper was Standard Wool SA. Baie geluk met hierdie prestasie!

VOORUITSIGTE

Die Rand se versterking teen die vernaamste geldeenhede het 'n groot rol gespeel in die daling in die week se wolmark. Die hernude vlaag van Covid-19 uitbrake in Europa veroorsaak 'n baie wisselvallige mark in beide Suid-Afrika en Australië. Die uitslag van die afgelope presidensiële verkiesing in die VSA, kan egter 'n positiewe invloed hê op handelsbetrekkinge tussen die VSA en China in die afsienbare toekoms, wat weer gunstig kan wees vir die wolmark in die kort tot medium termyn. Wol ontvang in die makelaars se store hierdie week, is 1.0% laer 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.  Produsente kan gerus kennis neem hiervan en ook aanvaar dat dit 'n toekomsneiging is wat gekom het om te bly. Skakel gerus met OVK om u by te staan in die sertifiseringsproses. Die volgende wolveiling is geskeduleer vir 18 November 2020.

FORECAST

The strengthening of the Rand against the most important currencies played a big role in this week's weakening of the wool market. The renewed outbreaks of Covid-19 in Europe are resulting in a very unstable market in both South-Africa and Australia. The result of the recent presidential elections in the USA might have a positive influence on trade relations between the USA and China in the near future though, which could result in favour of the wool market in the short to medium term. The receival of wool in the brokers’ stores this week is 1.0% lower, compared to the same time of the previous season.

Sustainable certified (RWS), good quality Merino wool, was in high demand on the auction and enjoyed healthy competition amongst the buyers. Producers have to take note of this and also accept that this is a future trend which has come to stay. We invite farmers to contact OVK for assistance in the certification process. The next wool auction is scheduled for 18 November 2020.
