Because this shows that our manufacturers' competitive advantage continues to lose, and in a recession environment, from now on, we have a long way to go.

Paul Steele, marketing manager of New Zealand Wool Services International Ltd, said that the slight depreciation of New Zealand's main trading currencies, the severe supply of wool and the recent rise in the price of wool markets in other countries led to the rise in most wool prices in the southern island auction this week. P

< /p >

< p > the number of wool provided this week reached 8340 packs, with a turnover of 83%.

The weight index of New Zealand's main trading currencies decreased by 0.46% compared with the previous auction in May 2nd, and the currency exchange rate strengthened with the auction.

< /p >

< p > the price of fine hybrid wool and shearing (3-4 inches) increased by 3-5%, and the shorter type obviously recovered 5-8% after last week's weakness.

< /p >

< p > the price of coarse hybrid wool and shearing has increased by 2.5%-5.5%.

< /p >

< p > the price of thin lamb for the first time and for the longer coarse lamb is increased by 2%, while the price of the coarse short type lambs < a href= "http://www.91se91.com" > wool < /a > has decreased by 2%.

< /p >

< p > the price of long broken wool is still stable, and the price of short broken wool has increased by 3-6%.

Less than P, the next auction of wool on the northern island, which was originally scheduled for May 16th, was insufficient.

The next auction on the southern island will take place in May 23rd, with a supply of 7300 bags of wool.
