Polyester yarn prices did not find support as the market scenario was gloomy due to the absence of regular buying. “Garment exports have not picked up yet. Not only India, but other major exporting countries were also struggling for export demand,” a trader from Ludhiana market told Fibre2Fashion.
Polyester yarn prices in India eased down amid subdued demand today, while polyester-cotton yarn remained steady because of weaker sentiments. According to the traders, the market witnessed optimism last week, but it turned bearish due to limited buying from the industry. Prices of cotton increased in north India as mills turned up to buy.
