Die Rand het, ooreenstemmend dieselfde tyd van die vorige veiling, 1.6% swakker verhandel teen die VSA Dollar en 1.7% verswak teen die Euro. Die grootste styging van 14.0%, was in die 20 mikron segment. Lempriere SA het op hierdie veiling die grootste hoeveelheid bale gekoop, gevolg deur Standard Wool SA, G.Modiano SA en Tianyu SA.

VOORUITSIGTE

Wêreldekonomië is besig om te stabiliseer, met die Covid-19 entstof wat wêreldwyd beskikbaar gestel is en hoop opvlam dat die pandemie onder beheer gebring kan word. Die aanvraag na goeie kwaliteit Merinowol is tans hoog, wat goeie nuus is vir die SA wolmark en word verder weerspieël in die feit dat die resultaat selfs beter was as die Australiese mark en die invloed van die effens swakker Rand, ook oorskadu het. Die aanbiedinge, in terme van hoeveelheid bale, gaan  begin verklein, na afloop van die finansiële jaar en dit behoort in geheel 'n positiewe uitwerking op die wolmark uit te oefen. Wol ontvang in die makelaars se store hierdie week, is 1.7% hoër 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. Sertifisering is 'n toekomsneiging wat gekom het om te bly. Skakel gerus met OVK om u by te staan in die sertifiseringsproses. Die volgende wolveiling is geskeduleer vir 3 Februarie 2021, waar sowat 9 528 bale aangebied sal word.

FORECAST

World economies are stabilising, duo to the Covid-19 vaccine which has been made available globally, with hope increasing that the pandemic might be brought under control. The demand for good quality Merino wool is currently high, which is good news for the SA wool market and is reflected in the fact that the result is out-performing the Australian market and the effect of the somewhat weaker Rand. The supply, in terms of quantity of bales, is going to decrease to the end of the financial year, which entirely should have a positive impact on the wool market. The receival of wool in the brokers’ stores this week is 1.7% higher compared to the same time of the previous season.

Sustainable certified (RWS) good quality Merino wool, again enjoyed good attention on the auction and saw healthy competition amongst buyers. Certification is a future trend that came to stay. We invite farmers to contact OVK for assistance in the certification process. The next wool auction is scheduled for 3 February 2021, where roughly 9 528 bales will be on offer.
