Western Market Indicator: 1,864 AUc/kg clean | 2026-10-28. WMI; regional indicator, not an individual bale price.

Passed-in share: 51.3 % | 2026-S18 / 2026-10-28. Fremantle / West; broker weekly commentary.

Fremantle Wool Selling Centre is the Western Australian wool auction centre identified by AWEX with Bibra Lake in metropolitan Perth. Fremantle is the selling-centre name, not the name of a single brokerage company. AWEX provides auction organisation and information infrastructure but does not itself buy or sell wool. Participants work through brokers, trading specified lots of raw material, with Merino wool central to the market. The location should therefore be understood as a trading centre supported by several businesses.

Dyson Jones reports a Western Market Indicator of 1,864 Australian cents per kilogram clean on 28 October 2026. Moses & Son’s commentary for the same week states that 51.3% of the western offering was passed in. WMI is a regional indicator, not an appraisal of an individual bale. The second figure describes offered wool left unsold; it does not mean that this share failed to arrive physically at the market. Both observations need to retain their reporting date when used in comparisons.

Buyers should specify fibre diameter, length, strength, clean yield and tolerance for contamination. These are essential when comparing bales with similar gross weights. Establish registration requirements, catalogue access, testing documentation and settlement arrangements. A price per kilogram clean is not directly interchangeable with a price per kilogram of greasy wool. Keep freight, warehouse handling and the implications of expected processing yield as separate elements of the purchasing budget, so that a superficially cheaper consignment is not mistaken for lower-cost usable fibre.

Growers can discuss preparation, classing, sampling and sale timing with their broker. When assessing the service, consider commission, testing and storage costs and the procedure for setting a reserve. Clarify what happens to passed-in lots and whether reoffering generates additional charges. Consistent identification of farm, bale and quality helps reduce errors and makes results from successive deliveries easier to analyse. Comparing net proceeds with an alternative sale date or channel is more informative than concentrating on the highest headline result from an unrelated wool category.

The price link leads to a public broker page. It contains WMI but also EMI and micron price guides calculated as North/South averages; those additional figures are not Fremantle quotations. The spreadsheet therefore specifies the coverage of the link. The Dyson Jones contact and address identify one broker in Bibra Lake, not a shared office for every auction participant. Confirm the receiving warehouse before consigning wool. AWEX publishes sale programmes and recesses, so daily trading throughout the year should not be assumed when scheduling deliveries or comparing successive market observations.
