Cotton price ride on roller coaster

In 2010, cotton prices rose sharply, so that textile enterprises were deeply hurt by this "cotton needle".

Contrary to last year's market, cotton prices have fallen by about 30% in late February to May this year.

Especially from the beginning of April to May, cotton prices plummeted on an average of 500 yuan / ton per three days, and cotton prices plummeted nearly 4000 yuan / ton in one month.

Entering July, domestic

Cotton industry analyst Zhou Xiaoqiu said that the global cotton production in 2011/12 will increase substantially. It has become a consensus of the market. The new year's global cotton production and demand gap will turn from a shortage of 270 thousand tons in the previous year to a surplus of 1 million 360 thousand tons. The fundamental improvement of the supply and demand relationship has undermined the confidence of the market to continue to bullish. From the historical experience, the decline in cotton prices this year has not yet really ended. It is expected that the time at the bottom of the cotton market may be in the early October or even the end of November.

Short term release of cost pressure

Cotton prices are falling, but it is difficult to curb the rising prices of autumn and winter clothing.

Reporters yesterday interviewed a number of Dongguan clothing enterprises found that this autumn winter clothing wholesale prices rose mostly between 10% and 20%, and some companies even raise the price of 30%.

Liu Qiaolan, manager of Dongguan Yuet clothing Limited company, said that the price of autumn and winter clothing will increase by 10% to 20%, and the recent cotton price cut has not reduced the cost pressure of raw materials, and the increase of clothing prices is also determined by the current economic environment.

Li Tiebo, a garment industry analyst, said that in the early years, the industry predicted that last year, the price of the "cotton needle" was soaring. In the second half of this year, the whole textile and clothing industry chain was carried out in the whole textile and clothing industry chain.

Ouyang Guangyao, executive director of the southern Apparel Federation, said cotton to lint and then to cotton.

The fact is that in the first half of this year, the price of cotton did not appear to be reflected in spring clothes and summer clothing due to the sufficient stock of raw materials.

Mr. Zhang, a clothing retailer in Nancheng, said that it is time for clothing manufacturers and wholesalers to increase their prices.
