Insights

  • In north India, cotton yarn prices remained steady due to average demand, with the Red Sea crisis impacting market sentiments.
  • This crisis led to increased freight charges, discouraging cotton yarn exports as neither exporters nor importers wanted to absorb these costs.
  • Recycled yarn prices in the Panipat market also stabilised after earlier gains.

Traders noted that market sentiments were also affected by the Red Sea crisis, as a significant increase in freight charges diminished the prospects of cotton yarn exports. Neither exporters nor importers were willing to absorb the sudden increase in freight charges. Consequently, export demand is not expected to rise soon.

After experiencing gains earlier in the week, recycled yarn prices stabilised in the Panipat market.
