Cotton market on Wednesday witnessed slow trading activity as crisis-ridden textile mills remained conspicuous by their absence. Most textile mills running out of working capital have started to shut down, brokers said. The Karachi Cotton Association kept its spot rates steady.
There were reports that many spinners have started to sell cotton from their stocks rather than converting it into yarn. Similarly, many big exporters engaged in textile goods exports were also reported to have closed down their businesses and there were reports of rising unemployment in the textile industry, brokers said.
