Insights

  • North India's cotton yarn market remained under pressure as uncertainty over US tariff actions dampened buyer sentiment and slowed demand. Prices stayed largely stable in Ludhiana and Delhi, but trading activity weakened as buyers limited purchases to immediate needs. Panipat saw slightly better recycled yarn buying on domestic demand hopes.

In the Ludhiana market, cotton yarn prices were broadly stable, with spinning mills maintaining their selling rates due to advance export sales bookings. A Ludhiana-based trader told Fibre*Fashion, “The cotton yarn market has become highly sensitive to US tariff-related developments. After earlier threats of *** per cent US tariffs, the recent announcement of a ** per cent tariff on Iran’s trading partners has triggered fresh concerns.
