Temporary Water Sales
Allocation markets in both the Murray and Murrumbidgee recorded large increases in pricing through July over the previous month. With the prevailing dry conditions and lower allocation availability, allocation pricing traded towards the end of the month between $330-$350/ML. Early trading in August has seen pricing of $350- $375 in the Murray and up to $390 in the Murrumbidgee. This compares to trades of $115-$130/ML at the same time last year. Allocation prices in the Lachlan Valley have risen with large volumes traded at $300/ML to end the month.
Duxton Water utilised its Entitlement Carry Over capability to take Allocation into the 2018/19 Water Season. This has enabled the Company to position itself ahead of stronger allocation pricing and to assist our irrigator customers through drier forecast conditions for 2018. The allocation sales to date for 2018 amount to 49.1GL.
Leases
51% of the Company's portfolio is leased with an average weighted lease duration of 4.9 years. With the increase in allocation pricing, the Company has seen an increase in interest for longer term water supply solution and expects further leases to be entered into over the coming months.

MARKET UPDATE & OUTLOOK
Market Summary – A Dry July
1[st] July represented the opening of the 2018/19 Water Season. Nationally, it was the driest July since 2002 with total rainfall at 51% below average. For the Murray Darling Basin, this July saw the 12[th] lowest rainfall received on record, with a -68% departure from the long-term mean. Daily inflows into the system remain well below the long-term average ( see chart right ).
Storage levels of the major dams within the SMDB increased by just 2% through July as a result of lower than average rainfall received across the Basin. With Northern Basin storages decreasing by 2%. Total MDB storage levels ended with no material increases for the month of July and are 18% lower than at the end of July 2017 (see chart below ).
The 2018/19 Water Season began with lower storage volumes and continued rainfall deficiencies have resulted in lower seasonal water allocations. Mid month Allocations for July were in line with drier forecasts, with NSW High Security Entitlements remaining at 97% and Victorian High Reliability Entitlements increasing only 6% and 2% in the Murray and Goulburn to close at 47% and 34% respectively. Murrumbidgee General Security Entitlements received further allocations of 2% to close at 5%.
The latest Bureau of Meteorology outlooks continue to suggest a drier Winter and Spring with a very high chance (75%-80%) for below median rainfall over the next quarter ( see chart bottom right) alongside very high probabilities for temperatures to exceed both the median maximum and minimum temperature for this period. The dry conditions have meant that in a number of regions irrigators have already begun watering crops and permanent plantings. Under medium conditions irrigation would generally not start until September/October.
Looking beyond the next three months, gradual warming of sea surface temperature in the Pacific Oceans has 5 of 8 international climate models predicting an El Nino to occur in Spring. An El Nino typically results in below average rainfall and above average temperatures.
