Wool Market in 2011: Ups and Downs, Fluctuations

In 2011, the global wool market experienced an “up and down” fluctuation, and in July it became a watershed for domestic and foreign wool markets.

In the first half of 2011, the world economy was picking up, China’s economy continued to grow, and commodity prices in the international market were high. The price of wool rose steadily, and wool prices in all countries reached the highest level in history. After entering July, the European debt crisis broke out in an all-round manner. The global economic situation has turned sharply downwards, economic data has continued to decline, financial markets have undergone severe turmoil, and the stock market has continued to fall. The world economy has slowed down. Under the shadow of the economic recession, the international wool market has a strong wait-and-see attitude and wool prices have begun to fall. By the end of the year, many wool varieties returned to the prices at the beginning of the year, and the wool market was full of confusion and panic.

The Australian market has been struck by the difficulties of the 2011 New Year. The world economy has recovered, many buyers have entered the auction market, many factories have limited stocks, and the international market has increased demand for Australian wool.

Due to the strong performance of the Australian dollar, the settlement price of wool and US dollars has been higher than the Australian dollar settlement price from March to September.

After a year's market changes, the wool with a fineness of less than 19.5 was lower than the opening price, while the price of wool with a fineness of more than 19.5 was much higher than the opening price. This shows that the market demand for ultra-fine wool in Europe has shrunk, while the demand for fine and medium-branch wool has been strong.

In the UK wool market, 50% of shearing sales were better during the shearing season of 2011. The British wool movement has stimulated market demand and pushed up the price of wool.

The domestic market rose first and then decreased. 2011 was the first year of the national “Twelfth Five-Year Plan”. In the first half of the year, the wool textile industry continued the situation of prosperous production and sales in 2010. The wool market demand was good, and the Australian wool market pushed up. Domestic companies have bought a lot of raw materials in an attempt to buy up or not buy, and wool prices have risen rapidly. In the second half of the year, due to the volatile European exchange rate crisis caused by the continuous warming of the European debt crisis, all commodities in the world are in turmoil. Wool is no exception. The domestic sales market seems calm, but it has been surging. The wool with a fineness greater than T55 has been affected by the increase in domestic demand for professional clothing. At the beginning of January, the Nanjing wool market quotation index opened at 69.38 yuan/kg, rising all the way to the highest point of the year at the beginning of July at 90.50 yuan/kg, after which the gross price continued to drop until the year-end closing at 80.20 yuan/kg. According to statistics, from January to November last year, China imported 272,000 tons of wool.

2011 Nanjing wool market sub-index table Unit: RMB/kg As a whole, deflation will become the main theme in 2012. China’s recent cut in the deposit reserve ratio may be an indication of the economic slowdown. The crisis in Europe will be the main reason for the slowdown. There will be an appreciation of around 2.5% this year. From this fundamental perspective, we can generally look forward to the fact that the growth rate of world trade in 2012 will further decline, the global wool market will recover slowly, and the general downturn is unlikely to change significantly. It is expected that the wool market will also maintain a steady downward trend this year.
