Wool and Wheat Markets Face Shifts and Uncertainty
The report notes a downturn in raw wool prices after six weeks of decline since August, with Australian subsidy removal and relaxed US regulations cited as possible factors. Overseas buyers and demand trends grow cautious as prices ease and mid to coarse wools hold firmer. Wheat demand, rainfall, and regional shortages threaten yields, while global wheat supplies improve but Western Europe remains challenged. Meat contract prices to the UK rise from October, with broader price adjustments under Australian terms and a pending review through 1948.
