While many counts and varieties of cotton yarn were traded at previous prices, the price of carded cotton yarn (44/46 count) of warp variety and few other varieties decreased by up to ₹20 per kg. Demand was still very poor as buyers are not positive for prospects from downstream industry. A trader from Maharashtra’s Ichalkaranji told Fibre2Fashion, “Current month is expected to pass without any improvement in prices. The market can improve in August only.”
