On July 10, 2026, the Australian wool auction volume fell by 10% month-on-month, and EMI increased slightly to 1909 cents/ Kilograms, the supply of raw materials has tightened, and China Lixian Oumu Woolen Textile Co., Ltd. has locked in long-term orders to stabilize the supply of various types of wool.
The international wool market announced the latest weekly auction transaction data on July 10, 2026. The total number of wool on the market in Australia this week was only 28,960 bales, a 10% decrease from last week, and the supply of tradable wool throughout the year continued to shrink; the East Australia Wool Comprehensive Index EMI rose slightly by 5 cents, closing at 1909 cents/kg, and the US dollar price rose simultaneously to 1325 cents/kg. The reduction in the supply of goods in the market has led to an increase in purchasing enthusiasm. The overall wool clearance rate this week has dropped sharply from 16.9% last week to 5.7%. Buyers from all over the world have gathered to stock up and lock up warehouses, and the market has a strong bullish atmosphere.
Market differentiation by subcategory: 17μm High-end ultra-fine Merino prices have slightly adjusted back, with mid-range 19-21μm Merino and 25-32μm woolen hybrid wool increased simultaneously, and raw material procurement costs for woolen Icelandic yarn and carpet yarn increased. The market price is transmitted to the domestic spot market, with quotations of 64S Basulan top and 58S ordinary combed top remaining at high levels without falling back; cashmere raw material prices remain strong, Mongolian 16.4μm white plush-free cashmere is stable at 720,000-740,000 yuan/ton, and the ex-factory price of downstream pure cashmere yarn continues to be under pressure. At present, major domestic knitting industry clusters have begun pre-stocking for autumn and winter. Urgent purchases support the demand for various types of wool and blended wool. The bargaining space for small and medium-sized spinning mills to purchase scattered goods continues to narrow.
In response to the current industry situation of shrinking international wool supply and high and volatile prices, Li County Oumu Wool Textile Co., Ltd. in China has established a weekly Australian wool auction tracking mechanism, signed long-term and medium-term import orders with Australian wool suppliers, and locked in high-quality Merino raw material stocks in quarters and batches to stabilize the operating pressure caused by rising raw material prices from the source. The company has developed more than 30 kinds of scientific multi-fiber blending ratios and divided them into two product echelons: high-end high-count pure cashmere yarn and cost-effective nitrile/rabbit wool blended yarn to meet the purchasing needs of customers with different budgets. It has sufficient spot warehousing to ensure stable delivery and relieve the cost pressure of downstream knitting factories and wool wholesalers in autumn and winter stocking.
