The Australian wool market continued its downward trajectory last week.
Lacklustre overseas demand due to COVID is plaguing the industry.
At home the market downturn was reflected by the AWEX Eastern Market Indicator losing 46c and 25c on Tuesday and Wednesday to fall to 858c, or in US dollar temrs 631c.
An average of 21.5% pass-in rate across the week highlights that there is still a level of growers who are unwilling to sell their wool at the current levels.
The AuctionsPlus online offer board was used sporadically this week, with 108 bales selling over the last 7 days.
It is worth noting that of the 108, 80% were sold in a flurry of buying activity today.
