Insights

  • Cotton yarn prices remained stable in south India amid slow demand from the consumer industry, exporters and stockists.
  • The sluggish retail demand, liquidity constraints, and high stock levels led to a lack of market improvement, with mills selling yarn below production costs.
  • Production slowdown in power looms has dampened market sentiments.

The Mumbai market observed stability across all counts of cotton yarn, attributed to slow demand due to reduced production activities in power looms. A Mumbai trader informed Fibre2Fashion, "Payment flow was extremely slow, which deterred buyers from making new purchases. The textile value chain is grappling with elevated stock levels, resulting in squeezed market liquidity. There were anticipations that workers would return to power looms post-Eid. However, the current slowdown in power loom production also weakened market sentiments."
