Insights

  • Cotton yarn prices remained stable across south Indian markets despite slow demand and uncertainties.
  • In Mumbai, despite weak exports and local demand, spinning mills did not reduce yarn prices due to limited stress to sell.
  • In Tiruppur, markets were closed for voting in India's general election, with prices stable on the previous trading day.

Mumbai market witnessed slow demand due to uncertainty regarding the future export demand for garments. A trader from Mumbai informed Fibre2Fashion, "Exports and local demand for cotton yarn were weak. Buyers were cautious about new purchases as they were unsure about demand from the downstream industry. Global tensions, as well as the general election in India, led to limited buying from the fabric industry. Spinning mills were not under pressure to sell their stock. Therefore, they did not reduce yarn prices.”
