Wool market eyes fair barometer as Australian clip declines
The barometer of Australian economy points to fair outcomes as wool prices ease at Sydney's new season auction. Prices fell 5 to 15 percent by grade though long term averages show volatility. Analysts anticipate August figures will be substantially below 1950 levels, with potential stabilising effects on inflation. American bidding was absent due to unsuitable fleeces, while Britain and the United States face pressure from falling textile and cotton prices.
