China's Textile Exports Now Resisting

11 December 2008 - China's textile and apparel exports continued surprisingly rising in November by contrast with a decline in total China's exports for the first time in seven years. Although confronted with US and EU economic recessions and a fall in the euro and the sterling, Chinese exporters may now take advantage of higher rebate rates and the removal of US textile quotas as of January 1st. Beijing is obviously tempted to let the renminbi falling in addition, but could attract some severe retaliation from Washington, as a consequence.

India Polyester Fiber and Yarn Prices

11 December 2008 - Demand for polyester filament yarns suddenly rebounded in India as filament weavers are no more anticipating a new decline in filament prices which stayed relatively unchanged in the past weeks.

Polyester Prices Supported by Crude Oil Rally

11 December 2008 -Polyester prices could slightly increase in the near term in China, in line with a very small rise in polyester intermediate prices. Any attempt to raise the fiber prices may however be confronted with a low level in demand from the textile industry. Polyester prices should however not further decline in the near term after crude oil prices rallied this week.

Polyester Intermediate Market Prices in Asia

8 December 2008 - The polyester intermediate market ignored a new dramatic fall in crude oil prices in the past week.

Cotton Prices Sharply Falling in New York

8 December 2008 - Cotton prices failed in really rebounding as US futures dramatically dropped on Thursday and Friday. In addition to a general depression on world commodity markets, the sharp decline was triggered by lower demand for US cotton on the international market. Demand from China nearly disappeared as soon as prices rose in the last two weeks. Cotton prices were however rebounding on Monday, in line with other markets.

Spun Yarn Prices In China

5 December 2008 - Spun yarn prices may be more stable in the coming weeks in China after suddenly falling 700 to 1,200 yuan per metric ton in November.

Raw material costs however stopped declining, offering an opportunity to maintain prices at their new levels.

Cotton Yarn Prices in Pakistan

5 December 2008 - Cotton yarn prices sharply declined in the last weeks in Pakistan, being depressed by a low level in demand and a fall in raw material prices.

Cotton Yarn Price Comparison: India vs. Pakistan vs. China

4 December 2008 - Cotton yarn prices in India did not follow the surge in cotton prices in the first part of the year before resisting the sharp cotton price decrease experienced in the fall. By contrast, Pakistani spinners easily preserved their margins thanks to a less dramatic jump in cotton prices in Pakistan.

EU Imports of Cotton T-Shirts in First Half 2005-2008

4 December 2008 - EU imports of cotton T-shirts continued significantly rising from China in the first part of the year.
