Melbourne Market Report M13 – 27 September 2017
On a very modest selection of best and best/good superfine/fine types, and a reasonable selection of mainly overlength and tender best/good top makers in 18.5 & broader, the market struggled for the first half of the sale but gained lost ground as the sale progressed and ended up generally unchanged.
Some low types in 18.5u and finer (even with above 40 Nkt’s), and lots with unfavorable A/M’s were10/15ac cheaper. Chinese types were 10/20ac cheaper at the beginning but finished up unchanged.
Good Bkn and long Pcs below 3%VM remained firm. Lots with high VM were 10/20 ac cheaper.
Open Tops were unchanged.
