In the beginning of 2021, demand for Chinese cotton textiles was good while inventory was low. Hence, the market was strong. Cotton yarn market was stronger as compared to the cotton fabric, and spinners increased the stock due to optimistic market sentiments.
Near the end of January 2021, the market weakened with upcoming spring festival holidays in China. The buyers became more reluctant to purchase at higher prices. However, in Q2 of 2021, the market again recovered to the optimistic situation as seen in January 2021.
