Saibosi partners with Wools of New Zealand to showcase farm-to-floor wool rugs in China
Chinese textile company Saibosi has partnered with Wools of New Zealand to put the 'farm to floor' story of New Zealand wool rugs on screen for its customers.
The weighted indicator for the main trading currencies lifted 0.21% to the downward pressure on local prices.
Dawson reports the northern European summer break and continuing pressure on China's internal economic situation is limiting the market at present as exporters cover for immediate shipment commitments only.
The fine and coarse end of the mid micron wools were firm to 2.5% dearer, with only the 26.5 to 27.5 types 1 to 3.5% cheaper. Fine crossbred full fleece were firm to 3% cheaper with shorter types firm to 2% easier.
Coarse crossbred full fleece and longer shears eased by 1% with the shorter types coming back 2 to 4%. A nominal offering of first lambs were firm to 4% cheaper.
Limited competition was spread mainly between China, Australasia and the Middle East with support from Western Europe, India and the United Kingdom.
The next sale on August 8 comprises about 5400 bales from the South Island.
