Ind-Pak ceasefire lifts sentiment, cotton yarn steady in south India

Insights

  • Easing India-Pakistan tensions improved sentiment in south India's cotton yarn markets, but prices remained stable in Mumbai and Tiruppur due to weak demand and ongoing labour shortages.
  • Sellers offered discounts for bulk deals, though export demand remains key for future growth.
  • In Gujarat, cotton prices stayed low, with buyers seeking cheaper options as mills avoid stockpiling.

The Mumbai market witnessed stable cotton yarn prices. A trader from Mumbai told Fibre2Fashion, “Spinning mills are not willing to reduce their selling rates. Slower consumption in the loom sector, due to a labour shortage, continues to affect cotton yarn demand. However, lower production of cotton yarn is offsetting weak demand to some extent. Spinning mills are also facing a labour shortage, leading to reduced cotton yarn supply.”
