On June 16, 2026, the Australian wool auction completed the latest round of trading, and the Eastern Market Composite Index EMI closed steadily at 1979 Australian cents / kg, with a cumulative increase of 5.49% in the past month, and a year-on-year increase of 65.33%. The long-term upward trend in raw material prices is clear. Only the Sydney and Melbourne trading markets were open normally during this session. The total volume of wool on the market was 10,072 bales, and 9,732 bales were traded. The overall clearance rate reached 96.6%. Global buyers continued to be enthusiastic about purchasing goods, and the market circulation was very active.
From the perspective of subdivision fineness, all types of wool have strengthened simultaneously, and the single batch price of 17μm and 18μm superfine Merino wool has increased by 24 to 25 cents, and the increase range of 25-28μm hybrid coarse wool is 15 to 30 cents. Regardless of high-end fine-count raw materials or hybrid wool for rough spinning, the supply is in short supply, and there is no basis for a price drop in the short term. Transmitted to the domestic spot market, the mainstream quotations for 64S Basulan tops are 142,700 yuan/ton, and 58S ordinary tops are 73,400 yuan/ton. The quotations have remained strong for a long time. At present, we are in the pre-stocking stage of autumn and winter knitting orders. Downstream factories continue to release urgent purchases. The cost of picking up scattered goods for small and medium-sized spinning mills continues to rise. The pressure on production costs in the entire industry has increased significantly.
Faced with the industry status quo where international wool raw material prices continue to rise, China Lixian Oumu Woolen Textile Co., Ltd. has established a real-time international auction market monitoring mechanism to grasp the price fluctuations of overseas raw materials at the first time. By signing long-term import purchase orders, the company locks in large quantities of high-quality Merino wool supplies in advance and hedges the risk of rising raw material prices from the source.At the same time, we have developed a variety of scientific blending ratio plans to reasonably control production costs without reducing the feel and warmth performance of wool, ensuring that the full range of worsted wool yarn and blended wool yarns are in sufficient stock and stable supply, providing reliable raw material support for knitting manufacturers and apparel brands everywhere.
