MARKANALISE.

Die 14de wolveiling van die 2020/21 wolseisoen het hierdie week, op 18 November plaasgevind. Die Cape Wools Merino aanwyser het met 1.0% gedaal teenoor die vorige veiling en teen 'n skoonprys van R144.07/kg gesluit. Die Australiese EMI het met 2.5% verswak teenoor die vorige veiling. Die Rand het, ooreenstemmend dieselfde tyd van die vorige veiling, 1.3% sterker verhandel teen die VSA Dollar en 0.6% versterk teenoor die Euro. Die grootste daling van 2.9%, was in die 21.5 mikron segment. Lempriere SA het op hierdie veiling die grootste hoeveelheid bale gekoop, gevolg deur Standard Wool SA, G Modiano SA en Tianyu SA. Daar is in totaal 12 874 bale aangebied, waarvan 91.0% verkoop is.

Op die OVK veiling is 3 924 bale aangebied waarvan 84.9% verkoop is. Die hoogste prys op die OVK veiling, van R135.80/kg, is behaal vir ‘n 1 baal lot BBH van 17.3 mikron, uit die skeersel van die MJ van Wyk, Colesberg. Die koper was Standard Wool SA. Baie geluk met hierdie prestasie!

VOORUITSIGTE

Die Rand wat die afgelope maand konstant versterk teenoor die vernaamste geldeenhede, die afname in die Australiese wolmark en die wêreldwye onsekerheid oor die stand van Covid-19, het alles 'n negatiewe impak op die Suid-Afrikaanse wolmark. Aanvraag uit China het egter verbeter die afgelope tyd, wat verhoed dat die wolmark verder verswak, terwyl Europa in die afsienbare toekoms nie 'n groot rolspeler gaan wees nie, as gevolg van die hernude Covid-19 inperkings. Wol ontvang in die makelaars se store hierdie week, is 3.5% 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 25 November 2020.

FORECAST

The Rand displaying a constant strengthening against the most important currencies, the decrease in the Australian wool market and the global uncertainty on the state of Covid-19, are all having a negative effect on the South-African wool market. Demand from China improved lately though, which prevents the market from decreasing further, while Europe will not likely be a significant role player in the near future, due to the renewed Covid-19 lock downs. The receival of wool in the brokers’ stores this week is 3.5% 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 25 November 2020.
