North Indian cotton yarn trade slows on US tariff concerns

Cotton yarn prices rose by &#****;* per kg in the Delhi market, but overall trade remained limited. A trader from Delhi told Fibre2Fashion, “Buyers are inactive in terms of fresh buying. They are holding off until July *, when reciprocal tariffs are expected to come into effect at US ports if the extension is not granted and the India–US trade deal is delayed. US buyers may place only limited orders if the tariffs are reinstated after this key date.” India’s firm position on the deal terms indicates a likely delay. Despite the weak market sentiment, mills are raising their selling prices for cotton yarn due to the steady rise in cotton prices.
