The textile and chemical fiber market has changed again before the Spring Festival!
Polyester filament prices have risen for 13 consecutive days!
The recent continued rise in crude oil has made everyone in the industry confident. With the rise in crude oil, the mainstream quotations of polyester factories have risen on the 13th.
Since the last promotion, polyester manufacturers have carried out multiple supplementary increases, and factory production and sales have improved. The seven-day average production and sales rate has exceeded 100%, and the production and sales of some better factories have even reached around 300%-400%.
It is understood that textile companies’ expectations for the future market outlook for raw materials are gradually diverging. Some users are worried that polyester filament yarn stocks will continue to rise in the future, which has led to increased downstream purchasing efforts in the near future. In the short term, raw materials are easy to rise but difficult to fall, so it is believed that polyester filament yarns will also There are upside expectations.
At the same time, the downstream industry is also relatively strong, and gray fabrics on the market have begun to be shipped one after another. According to feedback from some weaving companies and foreign trade companies in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong and other places, since mid-to-late December, with the release of spring and summer orders, the order-taking situation of some enterprises above designated size has improved, and inquiries and order intentions for textile and apparel orders have begun to increase. . In addition, the speculative mentality of some traders still exists, which aggravates the bullish atmosphere on the market. There are differences in price acceptance among various downstream industries, and the focus of small order trading continues to rise.
The spandex lost another 3,000 yuan!
The price of polyester filament over there keeps rising again and again, while the price of spandex over here starts to drop.
It is understood that the spandex market has continued to decline in recent times, with 40D transaction prices concentrated at 54,000-59,000 yuan/ton. As prices continue to fall, the profit margins of spandex, especially the profits of 40D specifications, have been greatly compressed. Most manufacturers This month has begun to reduce production to varying degrees to protect prices. The output of some manufacturers has even dropped by about 30%, and the operating rate of manufacturing companies is 80%. Coupled with the on-demand follow-up in various fields of terminal textiles, circular knitting machines, weaving companies, and warp knitting companies have started to slow down and are beginning to be on vacation. As the Spring Festival approaches, combined with power cuts and the impact of the epidemic, the start-up of downstream terminal areas has declined. As of January 6, the comprehensive start-up rate of chemical fiber weaving in Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions was 50.99%, a month-on-month decrease of 0.90%. The weak demand side has dragged down the price of spandex, although there are also reports that The number of weaving and foreign trade inquiries and orders in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Guangdong has increased, and the shipment of gray fabrics has accelerated, but the sustainability remains to be seen. At present, spandex is still in the process of bottoming out.
Abnormal fluctuations in raw materials
It does not represent future market conditions
Since last year, spandex, nylon, cotton, and polyester have been rising and falling sharply… The rapid rate has made polyester raw material factories make a lot of money, but it has also caught many textile people off guard. At the same time, the raw materials fluctuate too fast. Compared with the downstream textile enterprises, life is not so easy. First of all, the raw materials are located in the upstream of the industrial chain, and there is confidence in regulation. However, the textile market has long been in a state of oversupply. Even if the raw materials are now rising, what is really going on? How many of them have seen price increases?
“The prices in the market are very confusing now. Obviously filament yarns are rising, but some people just sell cloth very cheaply, even if they don’t make a profit.” A cloth boss who has been engaged in textiles for more than ten years said helplessly. At the same time, there are also bosses It reflects that in order to maintain the meager profits of maintaining old customers, they have to bite the bullet and continue to take orders, or they should follow the raw material price increase cycle and keep up with the market pace and repeatedly adjust prices. Regardless of whether it is going up or not, it is a “difficulty” for many textile bosses. s Choice.
In other words, due to the special node at the end of the year in the recent stage, the abnormal fluctuations in raw materials cannot represent the subsequent market conditions. From the perspective of the overall environment, the recurrence of the epidemic and the mutation of the virus are still a “ticking time bomb” that hinders the market from improving. The domestic and foreign trade markets have not fully blossomed. It will take time to confirm whether this year’s Golden Three peak season can drive orders and raw material prices!
