South India’s cotton yarn market noted mixed trend today. Yarn prices remained strong in Mumbai as mills were quoting higher rates despite weak demand. But carded cotton yarn slipped by ₹2-3 per kg in Tiruppur. Mills were in a hurry to sell yarn as trade will be disrupted in the last ten days of this month in West Bengal due to Durga puja festivities.

Mumbai market witnessed upside trend in cotton yarn prices. Mills were quoting prices higher by ₹5-10 per kg as their stocks were depleting due to closure of fresh production. “The market was still facing weak demand. Mills were quoting higher as they are trying to limit price disparity through price rise. Lower stocks also supported the trend despite poor buying.” 60 count carded cotton yarn of warp and weft varieties were traded at ₹1,830-1,850 and ₹1,725-1,800 per 5 kg (GST extra) respectively. 60 combed warp was priced at ₹440-470 per kg. 80 carded (weft) cotton yarn was sold at ₹1,820-1,870 per 4.5 kg. 44/46 count carded cotton yarn (warp) was priced at ₹348-355 per kg. 40/41 count carded cotton yarn (warp) was sold at ₹345-350 per kg.

A trader from Tiruppur told Fibre2Fashion, “There will be Durga Puja in the last week of this month in West Bengal. This will affect yarn supply during September 20 to 30.
