Ind-Pak ceasefire lifts sentiment, cotton yarn steady in south India

Insights

Easing India-Pakistan tensions improved sentiment in south India's cotton yarn markets, but prices remained stable in Mumbai and Tiruppur due to weak demand and ongoing labour shortages.
Sellers offered discounts for bulk deals, though export demand remains key for future growth.
In Gujarat, cotton prices stayed low, with buyers seeking cheaper options as mills avoid stockpiling.

The Mumbai market witnessed stable cotton yarn prices. A trader from Mumbai told Fibre2Fashion, “Spinning mills are not willing to reduce their selling rates. Slower consumption in the loom sector, due to a labour shortage, continues to affect cotton yarn demand. However, lower production of cotton yarn is offsetting weak demand to some extent. Spinning mills are also facing a labour shortage, leading to reduced cotton yarn supply.”

In Mumbai, ** carded yarn of warp and weft varieties were traded at &#****;*,***-*,*** (approximately $**.**-**.**) and &#****;*,***-*,*** per * kg (approximately $**.**-**.**) (excluding GST), respectively. Other prices include ** combed warp at &#****;***-*** (approximately $*.**-*.**) per kg, ** carded weft at &#****;*,***-*,*** (approximately $**.**-**.**) per *.* kg, **/** carded warp at &#****;***-*** (approximately $*.**-*.**) per kg, **/** carded warp at &#****;***-*** (approximately $*.**-*.**) per kg and **/** combed warp at &#****;***-*** (approximately $*.**-*.**) per kg, according to trade sources.
