Nylon market prices are sharply rising in China from the very low level reached in the first quarter this year. Caprolactam recently surged in Asia, mainly due to a lack of supply, therefore boosting prices in the nylon 6 chain. Filament prices may further increase to restore margins of polyamide fiber makers.

Wool prices again surged in Australia this week, whatever the rise in the local currency. A continued lack of supply pushed wool to a six-month high. Prices should stay very firm until August.

Polyester prices further rose in the last two days in China, with staple fibers finally gaining 25 cents per kilo in April. Such a surge should be confronted with the need for China's textile industry to cut its production costs in order to overcome the global economic crisis.

US cotton pullover imports strongly fell in the first two months of the year, being negatively affected by the economic recession. Shipments from China however surged while strongly rising from a small number of other Asian countries. Central American suppliers are confronted with a dramatic decline in US orders.
