South Indian cotton yarn prices steady; exporters gain from weak INR

Insights

Cotton yarn markets in south India saw mixed trends, with stable prices in both Tiruppur and Mumbai.
A weaker rupee supported exporter sentiment in Tiruppur, but demand remained average.
Mumbai faced below-average demand, with slight preference for synthetic yarns.
Cotton trade in Gujarat was limited, as ginners struggled with low margins and CCI adjusted prices.

The Tiruppur market saw slight relief from the falling rupee. Garment exporters benefitted from favourable rupee-denominated payments. The currency&#**;s weakness brought some optimism to the cotton yarn trade. A trader from Tiruppur told Fibre2Fashion, “There was no movement in cotton yarn prices in either direction. However, the weaker rupee was a boost to market sentiment. Cotton yarn demand was average, as the consumer industry is purchasing in line with regular consumption needs.”

In Tiruppur, knitting cotton yarn prices were noted as ** count combed cotton yarn at &#****;***-*** (~$*.**-*.**) per kg (excluding GST), ** count combed cotton yarn at &#****;***-*** (~$*.**-*.**) per kg, ** count combed cotton yarn at &#****;***-*** (~$*.**-*.**) per kg, ** count carded cotton yarn at &#****;***-*** (~$*.**-*.**) per kg, ** count carded cotton yarn at &#****;***-*** (~$*.**-*.**) per kg and ** count carded cotton yarn at &#****;***-*** (~$*.**-*.**) per kg.
