The wool market remained relatively firm last week, dropping 9c across the two sale days.
The AWEX fell 3c on Tuesday and then a further 6c on Wednesday, to close the week out at 1150c, or in US dollar terms 846c.
The market has remained steady in the last few weeks driven by a renewed sense of optimism for world markets after a string of successful COVID-19 vaccine news reports.
The escalation of COVID cases in America and Europe is still cause for concern, but with the renewed hope of a vaccine and the Australian economy steadily rebounding, the market is better placed from the previous lows.
The pass in rate closed at 11.8%, falling 7.9% from last week, largely due to the diminished supplies. The national offering failed to reach expectation, with only 36,535 bales offered of the expected 41,531.
