Insights

  • Cotton yarn trade stayed muted in south India as Dussehra holidays slowed activity, with Tiruppur and Mumbai markets showing steady prices. Mills focused on clearing stocks to boost cash flow before Diwali but resisted cutting rates, expecting export demand to support prices later. Gujarat arrivals were limited, with ginners blending old and new crops.

In Mumbai, spinning mills were attempting to clear stock to boost cash flow. Mills aimed to raise liquidity to cover expenses ahead of Diwali. A trader from the Mumbai market told Fibre*Fashion, “Every year, mills clear cotton yarn stock ahead of Diwali. They need more funds before the festival. But they are not willing to reduce prices. After Diwali, they expect export demand to support cotton yarn.”
