US tariff hike dampens cotton yarn trade in north India
Insights
North India's cotton yarn market remained subdued amid concerns over steep US tariffs on Indian exports.
With negligible trade in Delhi, Ludhiana, and Panipat, buyers are postponing orders or seeking discounts.
Traders fear US demand may decline further.
Cotton and recycled yarn prices held steady, but sentiment is weak due to export uncertainty.
Cotton yarn prices remained unchanged in the Delhi market. Buyers stayed cautious amid fears of a chain reaction stemming from the tariff hike. A Delhi-based trader told Fibre2Fashion, “If India and the US cannot resolve the issue in the next few days, foreign buyers may rush to realign their purchase orders. They may ask for discounts or hold shipments. This will dampen buying sentiment across the textile value chain.”
