Cotton yarn demand bearish in north India amid tariff uncertainty

Insights

Cotton yarn demand in north India remained weak in July despite stable prices and stronger uptake of polyester and viscose yarns.
Tariff-related uncertainty and high prices discouraged downstream consumption, while exports provided limited support.
Markets in Ludhiana, Delhi, and Panipat witnessed poor domestic demand, especially for recycled yarn.
Cotton prices also declined.

The Ludhiana market witnessed poor demand for cotton yarn, although prices did not show a downward trend. A trader from Ludhiana told Fibre2Fashion, “Both domestic and export demand for cotton yarn remained weak. However, export demand allowed mills to hold prices at current levels. Garment export orders are still insufficient to drive demand for fabric and yarn.”

In Ludhiana, ** count cotton combed yarn was sold at &#****;***-*** (~$*.**-*.**) per kg (inclusive of GST); ** and ** count combed yarn were traded at &#****;***-*** (~$*.**-*.**) per kg and &#****;***-*** (~$*.**-*.**) per kg, respectively; and carded yarn of ** count was noted at &#****;***-*** (~$*.**-*.**) per kg today, according to trade sources.
