VOORUITSIGTE

Ons verwag 'n moontlik versterking in die wolmark vir volgende week. Die rede hiervoor is dat werksaamhede in China terugkeer na normaal na hulle Nuwejaarsvieringe wat tot 'n einde gekom het. Dit, tesame met die Rand wat weer effens verswak teen die VSA Dollar, kan  'n positiewe beweging in die wolmark tot gevolg hê. Wol ontvang in die makelaars se store hierdie week, is 4.3% 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. Sertifisering bly 'n belangrike aspek en 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 24 Februarie 2021, waar sowat 7 748 bale aangebied sal word.

FORECAST

We expect to see an increasing in the wool market next week. The reason for this is that activities are turning back to normal after their Chinese New Year celebrations have come to an end. This, along with the somewhat strengthening of the Rand against the USA Dollar, could result in a positive movement in the wool market. The receival of wool in the brokers’ stores this week is 4.3% lower 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 continuing to be an important aspect and 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 24 February 2021, where roughly 7 748 bales will be on offer.
