Large gains were seen across all types last week, with the Eastern Market Indicator finishing up at 1594 cents a kilogram.
This equates to a gain of 49c/kg, or a rise of 3.2 per cent. In US dollar terms, the EMI sits at 1104c/kg.
The 17-micron wool saw the highest gains, rising 70c/kg to finish the week at 1992c/kg.
Following a few weeks of relative stability in the EMI, this dramatic rise in price has been viewed negatively by some, calling it an overreaction and a reflection of the sensitivity in the current market.
The main reason for the current excitable market is likely the ongoing supply issues. Australia's adverse climate conditions are reflected globally, leaving supply much lower than forecast. Typically, a drop in supply would lead to higher prices, but it appears global uncertainty may be counteracting this.
