Wool Sales Catalogue 26
published 03 Apr 2025
The 26th sale of the 2024/25 wool selling season took place today, with an offering of 7 689 bales.
The majority of the offering once again consisted of fine micron longer length wools, with 54,9% of the merino wools on offer being certified as sustainable.
The market edged up slightly today, supported by the weaker ZAR against the US$.
The good competition for the finer micron, good yielding wools, resulted in an overall sales clearance of 98,1%.
The all-merino indicator increased by 0,3% to close on R184,80 p/kg, whilst the certified indicator rose by 0,6% to close on R189,31 p/kg.
A highest price of R281,06 p/kg (clean) was paid for a single bale lot of 15,7 micron merino wool.
The Australian market managed to close up by 0,32% (AU$) this week, compared to their previous sale held on Wednesday, 26 March.
The major buyers on today’s sale were BKB Pinnacle Fibres (1 791), G Modiano SA (1 705), Standard Wool SA (1 203) and Stucken & Co (834).
