The prices of cotton yarn continued to remain stable in north India as recent rains and low temperature has prolonged the delay in revival of summer clothing demand. To some extent, desperation for sale increased on the part of traders, brokers and spinning mills. Some were even offering unofficial discounts on market rates to lure they buyers.
“We cannot have big hope from summer season as downstream industry has ample stocks of grey fabrics, finished fabrics and readymade garments. Cotton yarn prices were ruling at discount of ₹10-15 per kg on spinning mills’ rates which shows poor demand from downstream industry,” a Delhi-based yarn trader SK Shrivastava told Fibre2Fashion.
He also cautioned for downward trend after mid-February as Chinese new cotton arrival will depress market sentiments globally including in India.
