In recent days, cotton yarn market prices in Hebei, Shandong and Henan provinces have continued to soar in face of increasing cotton prices and crazy buying from downstream market.

Most cotton yarn prices have risen more than 1000 Yuan / ton in about two months, while of some varieties; have even flared up by 2000 Yuan / ton, the main reason being strong demand from the downstream sector.

Price of carded cotton yarn 32s is about 27,500 Yuan, and for better qualities, it is quoting at around 28,500-29,000 Yuan / ton.

In the polyester / cotton (PC) blended yarn market, prices too have shot up, due to hike in polyester staple fiber prices, following the trend set by raw cotton, resulting in evident increase of raw material costs of the variety.

Polyester/cotton blended yarn prices have adjusted upward frequently in recent times. At present, mainstream price of PC 65/35 32s ranges in between 21,000-21,500 Yuan / ton, with good quality yarn being quoted at 22,000 Yuan / ton.

Like in the case of cotton and PSF, price of viscose staple fiber too has ascended rapidly and are now assessed at 18,000 Yuan / ton, which supports rayon yarn price to climb continuously. Currently, mainstream price of 40s is about 26,500 Yuan / ton.
