Speaking of the big trends in the cotton spinning market, everyone will never forget last year’s cotton. In the process of changing from “little god cotton” to “demon cotton”, many textile companies and traders were “played” by this cotton. , even if the cotton reserve rollout has extended the period, it still cannot stop it from rising and rising. Since the National Development and Reform Commission website announced the news of the 2017 cotton reserve rollout at the end of November 2016, industry insiders hope that this year’s reserve will After the cotton is released, the cotton market can have a rational price, but the more you think about it, the less likely it will happen. Let’s not talk about whether this year’s cotton reserves will cause looting like last year. Let’s just look at the price on the first day of the round. It’s so unexpected!
In the half month before the rotation, there was overwhelming news about the price of reserve cotton. Some said it would increase by as much as 2,000 yuan/ton compared to last year, while others said the price would definitely be above 15,300 yuan/ton. The results proved that the reserve cotton price in 2017 The bottom price of cotton rounds was 15,358 yuan/ton, and on the first day of selling off reserves, the highest price increase reached 2,740 yuan/ton. In addition, due to the active auction of reserved cotton and the strong impact of futures prices, the cotton spot market It was also driven up, with most prices rising by 200-300 yuan/ton on the 6th, and some also rising slightly on the 7th. Xinjiang hand-picked double 29-grade mainland delivery prices were 16,500-16,700 yuan/ton, and the price of 3128-grade machine-picked cotton was at 16,500-16,700 yuan/ton. 16200-16300 yuan/ton.
Since the upstream is like this, should the downstream respond?
As you might expect, the cotton yarn market, which has been calm for half a month, also took advantage of the momentum to raise its quotation on the first day of round storage. According to the editor’s understanding, the recent shipments in the pure cotton yarn market have been smooth. With the increase in orders after the year , the operating rate of yarn mills has exceeded 90%. A company in Shandong has quoted 32-count pure cotton yarn at 28,000 yuan/ton, which is 200-300 yuan/ton higher than before. The person in charge of the company also said that it is currently in a low inventory stage and prices will increase later. The overall market is still very promising. In terms of demand, the demand for carded cotton yarn has increased significantly. According to relevant statistics, the demand for carded yarn this week increased by 4% compared with last week, the demand for slub yarn increased by 1.6%, and the demand for colored spinning yarn increased by 1.3%. The price of upstream raw materials is strong, and downstream cotton yarn will also be at a high level.
As for the editor who lives in a major textile town, he is most concerned about those weaving companies that are in dire straits. You must know that all-cotton fabrics account for a large proportion in the field of clothing fabrics. After all, the advantages and characteristics of all-cotton fabrics are difficult to replace with other fabrics. For this reason, the editor visited surrounding companies to understand what the current cotton product market is facing. situation,
Weaving enterprises: It will be too late for production orders after the year, but the profits are still very few!
According to a person in charge of a weaving company who did not want to be named, “The raw materials have increased several times since the beginning of this year. Our company specializes in shirt fabrics. As we all know, most shirt fabrics are made of 100% cotton. Last year, the price of raw materials increased. This year, the price of cotton has increased several times. The price of pure cotton gray fabric has also reached a new height. At present, the operating rate of our factory has reached 100%, and the workers are even too busy. However, because we have more old customers than new customers Although we have received orders for many years, in the fiercely competitive environment, in order to keep customers, price competition has become the most direct way, so we can only reduce our own profits to maintain operations.”
Trading companies: Factories have announced price increases one after another, and it is really difficult to negotiate orders!
It is really not an exaggeration to say that trading companies are the hardest hit in the textile industry chain. According to the general manager of Wujiang Kaixing Textile, in the past month, the factory has notified three times of price increases for gray fabrics, with a range of 0.3-0.4 yuan/meter. For trading companies at the most downstream, there is a sense that they are being “led by the nose” by raw materials. “Feeling, in terms of orders, Mr. Kai said that he is currently still making orders for the year before, and there are basically no orders for after the year. Although many are under negotiation, because the price is too difficult to negotiate, many customers have not paid the deposit. Without picking up the goods, being a fabric company is still very stressful.
Generally speaking, the current cotton spinning market has not become clearer as expected due to the arrival of cotton reserves. On the contrary, in the situation of “the more you sell, the more the price rises”, the pressure is even greater. To borrow a sentence from Mr. Shen of Xinhui Knitting: “It is too difficult to make textiles. Today, I worry about the price of raw materials, and tomorrow I worry about the price of gray fabrics.” Then apply it to the cotton spinning market. Can we say this: when cotton rises, cotton yarn rises, when cotton yarn rises, gray fabric rises, after gray cloth rises, fabric rises… I feel tired.
