Cotton yarn price steady in north India; comber up due to short supply

The Ludhiana market observed sluggish demand, yet cotton yarn prices remained steady due to a recent increase in fibre prices.

Changes in consumption patterns also negatively impacted cotton yarn demand. Export demand was weak not just in India, but globally as well.”
