"Just over 27,500 Australian grown bales were put up for sale and this assisted to apply upward pressure on wool prices when combined with the enthusiasm of the auction buyers.

"Risk mitigation is the name of the game in these generally trying times and the buy then sell prompt methodology appears to be working in favour of those building inventory, confident that buyers are out there.
